Looks familiar.

Yeah. I've seen this on a thread somewhere.
Still hits home.

"People before profits?"

If only...

WOOHOO! Two openings!

This was on a BANG blog and laobserved.com about 2 months ago. Thanks for bringing it here.

And the suits chuckle in satisfaction, and take another bite of their steak.

Another couple hundred thousand dollars in their pockets.

You know what would make a great photo here? A newsstand where all the papers of companies like these are still there because no one buys them because they're nothing but useless pieces of ads.

May as well change the term newspaper into adspaper. It's inevitable.

 

[greenlantern]

That's effed up.

Update: One of the nine RIFed today in San Jose is Martin Gee, the creator of this photo essay.

He also said in that piece: "I am probably on the top of the list for the next round of layoffs." Gee could not be reached for comment Friday, but several sources confirmed his layoff, which also was reported on a number of Web sites.

I missed this the first time:

A report on Gee's layoff at www.visualeditor.com also said that Gee's father had died earlier this month after a battle with cancer and, to top it off, Saturday is his birthday.

At the bottom of the initial link it has a 6/28/08 update saying he was laid off.
