12/7    What's a good blog site for anonymous people to rant and spill
        beans on their company?                 -disgruntled x employee
        \_ http://fuckedcompany.com used to be good for that...
           \_ No longer exists.
              \_ Where do the ex-employees of http://fuckedcompany.com post?
                 \_ Ha ha!  http://www.doublepenetration.com
        \_ I hate to knowingly support a Guy Kawasaki venture, but truemors?
           Not completely sure on the spelling either, obGoogle. -dans
        \_ vallywag? Not exactly anonymous, since you would have to talk
        \_ valleywag? Not exactly anonymous, since you would have to talk
           to a reporter, but if your stuff is interesting, they will run it.
           \_ You don't have to 'talk to a reporter'.  Make up a bunch of shit
              and instant message Owen, he'll probably print it.
              \_ How do I IM Owen?      -op
              \_ What is Owen if not a reporter?
        \_ Spill it on the motd.

4/23    Suppose you used to work at Awesome Corp that got acquired by
        Monsanto Corp. You're embarrassed about it and people now hate
        you by association. Should you put Monsanto on your resume? Or
        is it better to leave it out completely?
        \_ Awesome Corp 2008-present (acquired by Monsanto in 2010)

3/13    Worker's paradise: "a workplace free of VCs, MBAs, sales, marketing,
        biz dev, endless meetings;"
        http://sfbay.craigslist.org/about/craigslist_is_hiring
        \_ I love management and PMs, the more the better.
           \_ In my company the ratio of product managers to developers is
              about 1 to 5.  I heard that at Microsoft it's about 1 to 1.

        \_ Did the Big Oil pay the reporter to do that?

3/1     Can someone explain to me why Groupon is a tech company?
        \_ It's similar to how Amazon and eBay are tech companies.
           \_ Amazon and eBay are *NOW* tech companies, they didn't
              start that way. Groupon started off as a marketing
              company, and their "technology" isn't getting any better
              than a bigger and bigger opt-in email spam system.

Nice pants Rumor has it Levi Strauss has been forced to sell-off its sinking Dockers business to pay off the debtors. Trilogy Software is packing up shop and sending all development jobs to India. Word is the company is looking into how many customer service jobs can be done from India as well. Knowmadic employees are jumping ship, including the Director of Engineering, some designers, and the entire QA team. According to one employee and FC reader, "We knew it was coming. The funny thing is that by intially you say to yourself, 'at least they are keeping the jobs in the US' -- until you speak to the conversion team in Illinois and find out the majority of them are from India and Russia." Passport Health staff developers were just given a choice by their new onwers, United Wisconsin Proservices: Move to Franklin, TN (just south of Nashville) or you're out of a job in six months. Deloitte Consulting has terminated the employment of all participants in its MBA educational assistance program.
