He had friends over. The catch was that he couldn't leave or go past his backyard for a whole year.

What stinks is the corporate screwjob he got after being promised a $98000 salary. Typical these days.

I agree. Too many corporations these days cut corners at the expense of their employees/sponsorees. It certainly isn't like it was when our parents worked (stable work environment, good benefits, caring employers). That's very unfortunate for DotComGuy. There was another write-up about it here in Dallas. He could have done a lot with the $98,000 promised him and he certainly did earn it.


The above example is why I truly try to help everyone understand the importance of not just relying on company benefits to get them through to retirement but to also take advantage of personal IRAs which follows you from job to hob for life. Just additional FYI.

hob = job

corporate restructuring = cut of benefits
