The supervisor guy turns off the factory lights
So the robots have to work in the dark

It was "Hatchet Day" in my company today.

All around the country, managers in my company fired 2500 people. They received packets with marching orders (the "who") at their home addresses, and then a phone call from headquarters as to protocol (the "how").

Our little Bozeman office wasn't affected, as we were tenatively sold to another entity recently. We will know a little more about our future by May 11th.

Nevertheless, a few of my friends and many acquaintances were escorted from their respective offices today by management.

I so dearly wish I could write more about the situation, but some small instinct for self-preservation still exists in the reptilian core of my brain.

The whole thing makes me want to go burn some tires in my yard for Earth Day.
