Sorry, dude, it's not your place to tell the company what their problems are and what you're "concerned" about. That's for them to decide. Sure, being a sheep that does what they're told is lame, but those sheep keep their jobs :p |
Which is why before I got this job I swore I would never work for anyone lol.
I only took this job cause it fell in my lap. My friend worked there and they wanted an intern (cause they are cheap and wanted free work) and I kicked so much ass in the first 2 weeks interning they hired me. :p
Then the only smart Principal left the company cause he knew the place was going to , and the other two partners were idiots, one a drama queen (a guy tho), and the other a lazy, idiotic slob.
Also, zip, they'd ask us what was wrong with the company, what was WRONG with the company, and if you told them they'd flip the out.
They were immature little s playing business. One was a high school drop out who ran the art side and did too many drugs, then found jessus and the other guy only knew how to program vb6 and AS2 but acted like he was gods gift to programming and he didnt even know what the inheritance was in OOP. When he did learn, HE ING USED IT ON EVERYTHING FOR NO REASON ClassA->ClassB->ClassC NONE OF THEM NEED TO EXTEND THAT FAR DOWN :wtf: |

social skills 101 should be a mandatory college course imo.
no matter what they were, at the end of the day they are still the ones who signed your paycheck. You act like you don't realize this. |

| Like I said, it sounds ty, and that sucks that your employer was incompetent and didn't know Object Oriented Design from a hole in the ground, I was just pointing out that keeping quiet would have kept your job. ;) |

They are also cheap bastards, when they fired me they never payed my vacation, and to cover up how many hours I had they stopped putting the numbers on everyones paystubs... :wtf:
I heard they are back on there now, so I am going to get my lawyers back on them lol, they are scared less of lawyers.
Also, they opted out of paying unemployment insurance fees so they are basically footing the bill for my unemployment haha, they pay me almost the same amount of money per month, but I do no work for them! :D |

I realize it, but I had no respect for them. When I didn't need the job in the first place, them, I will criticize them and tell them how they suck all I want. In the end I wanted them to do good, why would I want the place I work at to fail. I liked working, when it was fun, but it got to the point where every day was a ing struggle that seemed totally inane and pointless. |

| sounds ty indeed. you may think/possibly are more knowledgeable of the development material, but guess what? they're signing your pay checks. i can't count how many ty jobs i've had in the past, where i knew a bit more about developing , but you know what i did? i stuck with it until the company fell to the ground or they didn't have enough payroll to pay me. well that was my young earlier days where i would accept a block of cheese as a paycheck. :D not now. i'm sure there are other factors tying around this whole situation, but it sounds like it's still buried deep inside you, since in your mind, you think the company is in in water with you not there. |

No, it was almost dead while I was still there, we lost a bunch of huge contracts due to basically us saying we knew how to do branding and all this advertising when we really had no clue. A huge project by one of our biggest clients was put on indefinite hold as well.
From talking to people there now it sounds like nothing has changed, which is not a good compliment or a blow to me, because when I left it was already down the tubes. Most people there give them 6-9 months more time unless something rapidly changes. |

No, the postid seen in URLs counts all posts since inception since it is a unique ID. If you look at stats on teh front page, total posts visible on TA is still under 10,000,000. That is harder to track though. |
