I feel like that was dumb on my part although I did and do enjoy the music. :D

I'm sorry that YOU were laid off. I don't understand this situation. It's so unfair that things like that happen to good people. Did you at least find a decent and well-paying job after that? I hope so.
My boss got what he deserved, he should have just fired the idiot 2 years before, but they were friends...

He wasnt really deaf, just stupid. He had the observational skills of a blind deaf mute, but with out the good excuse. he didnt hear her because he was busy running his mouth about how stupid she was.

For the record, they were closing up our department and outsourcing it, and after 4 years, 3 of which where i was doing web developement but still having to answer phones to make up for krietard's incompetance, i actually volunteered to be first on the chopping block. I got a nice fat severance package.

He, on the other hand, decided to give his 2 weeks notice during a conference call with the heads of IT and the CIO of the company, much to the horror and embarrasment of our boss and his boss.

last I heard, he was working for a store that sold chocolate.
