Layoffs For TheUseful

That my friend is Niuniu (aka the brains behind the whole operation) I hear he's a whiz kid.....met him a few times.

What a weird premise. You introduce him as your friend, yet you just hear he is a whiz kid and have met him just a few times.
 
With all of these layoffs coming or already happening, does this mean The Useless is showing signs of tanking, or is this just a way to clean up an old mess of some sort?

Usually when a company lets go of a significant portion of it's staff, especially in one day, they are gearing up to make changes. Like with Azoogle, they let go of those Toronto based staffers because they were moving all of the AM and marketing departments down to NYC, and keeping the rest in Toronto for support to the affiliates and advertisers. I think it was a smart move on their part in many ways, but not all.

So what's The Useless up to now and after this fire storm?
 
Just found this forum and all i have to say is that there are some major problems going on over there. Luckily i left there right before the mass layoffs happened, but once they get kicked off of google (which is bound to happen again) they're really screwed. It unfortunate because there are some good hard working people there and some good people in management (the few).

Unfortunately, due to improper planning and flat out poor management I'm willing to bet the house that there will be another round of layoffs happening here in the not-so-distant future, which is a shame. You have Dale and other top executives making outragous salaries (way too much for what they're worth to be honest with you) who will decide to take the easy way out and just get rid of people.

Know a couple of people who were laid-off from there and these people deserved much better than what they got. These were hard working and very intelligent people.

I agree whole-heartedly. They are dumb for laying off certain people. Oh well, any other company in the industry will be lucky to have them. I know most of the people have been snatched up already. What a idiotic decision they made...oh well...:eek:

Can any of you former employees/current employees offer any insight on this? Let us know your thoughts.

I highly doubt they are reading this thread, it's pretty old.. not to mention they wouldn't find it unless someone pointed them to it directly.

Actually, a lot of former and current employees still read this forum. They told me people were still posting on it. That's why I decided to check to see what was going on. But hey, what would I know? I'm just a gay, vengeful person... No one should listen to me, what would I know?

Yeah, I used to work there. Then I started this post and then got accused of being gay and vengeful. Apparently some people can't take criticism. Everyone I talk to over there feels as though they are walking on egg shells, but hey what would I know?

Oh Ed, c'mon, I was just having a little fun. Everyone knows that. Don't take it personally. I still love you. But not in the way you're thinking. I love you differently...I love you in the man/butt kinda way. And stop leaving your damn toothbrush at my place. If you need to reach me later, I'll be "in the Jim" ;-)

You mean all those nights I stayed up at night crying myself to sleep because of what you said meant nothing? Does this mean I should cancel my therapy sessions? Anyways, you wait long enough and you'll see what everyone was talking about... Good luck over there.. Oh wait, that's right... tell your "friend" good luck over there...
 
I heard that there are going to be a LOT more layoffs. Massive this time. My source even went so far to say that they were laying off more than 100 people this time! IF this turns out to be true it will be very unfortunate. Im assuming they will just outsource most everything. Also with the company moving so far south, I'm sure a lot of people will just bail out on their own. Thoughts?:anon.sml:
