apparently they are auditing all employees internet usage and found some of the content to be not suitable for the company and the ethical guidlines they set forth.

Oh well. Who wants to hire me?

That sucks though. Hope you can find a new gig soon.

How many people did they can, if it was a few it was probably their version of a lay off. Except that they don't have to pay unemplyment this way. If it was just you, they were probably looking for a reason. I have worked for a couple companies that operated like this.

Ben that really sucks! Sorry to hear about that. :(

To think of it on the bright side it could be the chance/excuse you've been waiting for to relocate yourself....maybe Arizona or Colorado? :D

I guess they'll be left off your next resume
nope i was there for 2 years. they do not give references so all that will happen if they are called by next employer is they will say "he worked he from this date to that date" thats all they will tell anyone. so that part is good.

I think a lot of employers are doing that nowadays; saying anything else might open the door for a lawsuit.

Dude. I am so sorry to hear that. If you want to move to So Cal I can likely get you a PC job at Kaiser. Atlanta is hiring too though.

This really hits home because I just came outta my managers office who reamed me for my own internet usage (as well as other lack luster performance concerns). Good thing I work in IT, and can erase my tracks. (Yes, from the servers, too).

Good luck in the job search!

Damn those BOBS! Hmmm... "Peter Gibbons"... "Ben Wiggins"... hmmm weird parallel. Well, if you want to get back at them, I have this virus.... :D
