Has a pretty scathing satire of this situation with Gerstmann getting canned from GameSpot. Pretty harsh, but still. Changing the locks to a dude's office in the middle of the week. That's clas(s)y.

I can't say that Jeff is my favorite critic, and I can see how his personality could rub management the wrong way. But I've always respected his opinion. There have been times that I disagreed, and others where I thought he just came across as jaded. But he has always been intellectually honest. I can only imagine what it must be like for his former co-workers and friends that are left behind. They'll have some tough decisions to make. And right here at Christmas time... Nice.

I've actually had a similar shock these last few weeks, as I learned that my employer is about to be purchased by a much larger corporation. We've been told that it's just business as usual and our jobs are safe for at least the next 6 months. Basically, I'm just looking forward to my interview with the Bobs. I'm actually already looking for another job, hopefully something in software. IT has been everything I thought it would be and so much more.
