Layoffs

[The Tonya Harding of Twitter Users Creep]

A bunch at my company today. The shortest tenured in a group of five didn't have much of a chance.

Anyone hiring mechanical engineers?

Did you bounce back?

Not yet. Was really lazy about looking for a job while I still had severance pay and then the holidays. Actually trying to find something now.

Do you have any CFD experience?

does computing my fluid dynamics grade to be passing count as experience? if so, yes, he does.

Does he want to work in Wichita?

I don't have too much CFD experience especially in terms of computer modeling. Wichita wouldn't be my first choice (is it anyone's?) but I'd be open to it.

TTHoTUC was actually decent at fluids, just a dumbass about remembering to turn in the take home part of the exam.

well when the take home part of the exam was based on the homework I didn't do or turn in it made it pretty hard. like, you honestly expect me to turn in my homework and show up for exams? gmafb.

We need an engineering thread. 

yeah, I've always been curious about what the most boring thread in history would look like.

I agree that the modern world and the future are pretty boring.

8mp why don't you just hop on the bandwagon already?

Cerner Corp. executives said Friday they expect to have the first building completed and 1,500 people working at the site of their new $4.3 billion Three Trails office development in about 30 months.

If I were you, I'd start interviewing elsewhere, fanning. You are better than that job, anyway.

[wetwillie]

probably going to be more layoffs for KC folk when russell stovers gets sold too

[michigancat]

In all honesty getting laid off probably would have been a good thing for wacky.

Maybe. At least now he can still get paid while he finds something better. I just hope that this was a wake up call for him and he decides to go out and do something meaningful.

severance package 

unemployment check

infinity free time

getting laid off sounds like the best thing ever

Layoffs usually are accompanied with a severance. And many people have been telling him to look for a new job for months, and wacky is the type that sometimes needs a kick in the pants.

I really doubt a for-profit school is going to offer much of a severance package to their phone trolls, though.

[Tobias]

mich is 100% correct here

[The1BigWillie]

You don't get a severance package when they tap you on the shoulder and take your headset. 

[420seriouscat69]

I'll be ok you guys. I'll start looking soon. I'm just so comfy here, cause i've done it for awhile. Feels natural. Plus, if I want to get my Doctorate, they'll pay for it.

do you want his BP to go through the roof? 

[CNS]

I would go for the doctorate, WC.  I mean, Dr. Kickball sounds like a guy I want to hang out with.
