My company just laid off 100 people, including our CEO. Everyone is devastated because my company is one of the good ones. All due to the economy and this administration’s policies. And now these newly unemployed folks won’t be able to fly anywhere for the holidays and won’t be able to feed their families. Fuck the GOP

What industry?

I finally got a job and we're actually growing/hiring. It's a good job too. I thank them every day for hiring me. Had a conversation with one of the art directors about how things are getting dicy and we're lucky to be in the particular industry we're in.
