Mergers---NOW I miss self employment
 

I have been self employed my entire life and in the last few year i have been non-self-employed but had the benefits of self employment...until the merger.

New software, employee handbooks, enough policies to fill the library of congress and absolutely nothing getting done. I think I'm going to be that youtube guy and throw a monitor.

By any chance, do you work for the government? I do and by your description it sounds just like my job.

You tube guy...?


Just pull an Office Space. We did that at my work with some of the old CRTs and Printers...

some days i feel like that.

I think that attribute goes with size, wether government or large comany.

I don't know if it's any consolation, but think about the six or seven half built houses that you don't have sitting empty because of insufficient funds and not-existent buyers.

Sorry to hear. On the bright side, you won't have to work nearly as hard.

While not exactly the same situation (shareholder in a family-owned, privately held corp), I can relate to your reaction to losing autonomy. I can't fathom having to report to someone else and having to follow policies as opposed to setting them. Well, except for my wife.

It was 5 half built houses that wiped out a savings to complete..:P

I know it could be worse, today has been one of those odd ones...not really bad but one of those days it an odd one for sure.

To the contrary, in a smaller company your personality can get you a long way, in a mid-size company your production better double or you're toast I don't mind that part because I make more money but there's nothing worse than the possibilty of not having a job..

I would post the video but Youtube is blocked.:(

That sucks! Have a recession beer!

That's premium! recession beer is Busch Light. I was going to post a thread about this at the beginning of beer season; stay the hell away from Miller High Life Light. I thought I was on to something buying a 12 pack for $6.00 and a month later I'm stuck with 11 bottles of piss that I can't even get my beer moochers to drink.

Miller High Life..........who would drink that.........I can't believe they sell it anymore..........

As a beer moocher I'm deeply offended!:D

The recession ain't that bad in Milford, just had two of these. Damn that pop top is cool.:D $10 for a 4 pack, but their big so its like a 6.
