Calli - I don't think they are screwing people. Bad management? yes. Low to no bonuses? yes. Job insecurity? some.

On the other hand, people in sensitive positions are spending 30-50% of their time on building a different company, and are using company paid resources for some of the work.

One of my parents' friends, who was a German immigrant, had his name legally changed from Adolph Rudolph to Rudolph Adolph (called Rudy) during WWII.

It would be really funny if someone here had written that....

Wouldn't it?

Um, read back about ten entries in the Fan Fiction II topic for more on this.

I can't speak for Jesse, but I was trying to be sly and clever, b/c I'm aware of the author.

Yeah, that's not fair to you or anyone else in the company. I'd probably let someone know, too.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

That'll happen when you're Ingrid Bergman's granddaughter.

And your Dad was a male model. And your mom is Isabella Rossellini.

Probably more so than if the dad had been Martin Scorcese or David Lynch.
