Yeah, I just got a text from my wife saying the same thing. So I'm backing off of that one. I enjoyed the subtly of it, but it really is crossing a line. I just closed it. I don't want to aim for humor and miss the "high road" and that really is a bit too far. Too bad :)

Utah is a very small place. The IT world is even smaller. Whatever you do, leave with class and dignity. Burn a bridge and you'll have a tough time landing elsewhere. Trust me when I say (as a CTO/CIO), that we do talk about prospective employees, especially for those senior or hard-to-find positions. I'm hopeful your day ended well.
More doors will open.. the market is still pretty hot right now. PM me when you're ready to start looking again and I'll see what I can do.2020 Jeep Gladiator (2" Lift, 37" Tires, Falcon 3.3 Shocks, Lockers, Sliders)

Best of luck Discgo. Sorry for the bad news. I have family members in IT and they are changing jobs all the time. That is nuts.

I was let go around 4. It probably went about as well as it could have gone. They gave me a month's severance which will actually really help me, while I get a plan together. At this point, I not feeling too badly about it. It was the right move for both parties, and I am just glad to have it behind me. Thanks for all the help everyone.

Good to hear. A month is very generous.

First thing Monday Morning head down and sign up for unenjoyment....
You have paid into the unemployment fund all these years so you deserve to collect in your time of need. That combined with your severance and a little belt tightening will go a long ways and give you time to get a good plan together.
And the most important thing of all.... remember to say it's Obama's fault when anyone ask what happened.
Good luck!

Also remember that the best way to get a better quality of life is get fired from a job you don't really like, take the severance payment. Then get another job, even if it means a reduction in pay.
And you get a few weeks of vacation in between; make the most of it with your loved ones.
[edit:] just caught up with the last 1/2 hour of transmissions...Good luck and use the Month for something useful or memorable...I used mine to go to Utah & learn Canyoneering; thanks Shane & MoabMark [/edit]

Well, we're at around 400 people thus far and we have an agreement with the state to hire 750 folks total, so I figure if we continue ramping up as we have been, we be hiring until around the end of summer next year. Hope you get your own business off the ground. If you need help with the programming side of things, let me know and I can provide hookups there as well. As for the referral, you know... my house sure could use a few new layers of paint... ;) Kidding. A referral is obviously implied. There's plenty of IT around here, but IT with personality is not so common.

Thank you again everyone for the positive support. I am accepting a job offer for quite a bit more than I was making, so I am pretty pleased with how things turned out :)
