From an employee: I'm not unemployed but I may as well be, working as a server in these times. I barely get 3 days a week, and no one tips. I often walk home with less than 10 dollars in my pocket after working 5 hours. And that $3.77/hr server wage doesn't go very far.

  3. People always hate to talk about when they are laid off. But as it has become every day's news headline since Yahoo started it with cutting 1500 of its task force last year, now a need of platform has been in demand where people can express their selves in words how they are feeling about their company, whey the got laid off was that justified or not.
    And every thing they want to tell anonymously.And www.layoffgossip.com is providing you that platform.

  4. The SUNY Press layoffs had nothing to do with the economy. The real story is quite similar to what you'll read about the University of New Mexico Press: incompetent, paranoid, control-freaking senior management.
