| schestowitz[TR2] | Yes you do because the alternative is worse. Having been unemployed since February, I can tell you this is the worst job market I've experienced since I was RA'd from IBM in 2014. Wouldn't surprise me if we're in a depression. | Sep 19 05:05 |

You were considered cheap and inexperienced enough to retain for a few months, and you've been set up to fail.

| schestowitz[TR2] | Some really horrible people subscribed me to lots of spam, which makes a mess of my inbox. | Sep 19 09:24 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | I am going to add the above to Daily Links after checking it. | Sep 19 09:24 |
