Resources for employees laid off by Netshops

Here are a few resources:

Fired-layed off-downsized employees handbook

Gifts for laid off employees

Oh look. Dilios has been updating Netshops' Wiki entry... I wonder how long it will be before it gets changed back to accurately reflecting the 'multiple rounds of layoffs' Netshops has gone through...

Corporate accounting scandals

Why would ^ that be here....

Unemployed, underemployed or anxiously employed? Take a look at UnitedProfessionals.org

Oh, by the way, the job fair next week at the Holiday Inn Central - it is mostly for journalisim/news media professionals. The next job fair for the rest of us unemployed (or underemployed or anxiously employed - like most of Netshops workforce right now) is April 10th. Circle the date. Like I mentioned - some of you owe me drinks and I don't drink cheap liquor.

I just found this blog. Pretty entertaining so far.

For those of you who were curious about this year's Best Places to Work results, here is an excerpt from the Omaha Chamber of Commerce:

2007 Best Places to Work:
Winning companies with 50-250 employees:
1. Lutz & Company, PC
2. Home Instead Senior Care
3. Olsson Associates
4. SilverStone Group
5. MSI Systems Integrators

Winning companies with 250+ employees:
1. Quality Living, Inc.
2. PayPal, an eBay company
3. Farm Credit Services of America
4. Marriott Global Reservation Sales and Customer Care
5. FirstComp

You may notice a former winner is not listed this year. Looks like Doug killed the goose trying to squeeze more golden eggs from her.

It is sad that this happened. It's truly not the same company it was before. But being the 13th fastest growing company in country (Inc.Magazine), how could it be? Perhaps Mr. Doug saved the goose by not spending another golden egg on excess employees. You didn't really expect Netshops to be the "feel good" company of the year forever, did you? Really?

Hey Laura - why so down? Look at you - accentuating the negative when there are so many positives! You could also put Netshops in the company of other fast growing companies like eBay, Sandisk, Netflix, Yahoo, Red Hat, United States Steel, Amazon and on and on. Oh, and by the way - ALL of those companies mentioned have had their own share of layoffs as well. Hmmm.
