RANT--The Layoff Rant

Download Now

This is the fiend master.  As promised last week, I present to you Paul Elard Cooley's Layoff rant.  This presenation is once again from the archives, first broadcast in August 2009 and taken down shortly afterwards due to certain, um, legal issues that might have arisen.  However, now that it no longer matters, and because Schlumberger has once against decided to rid itself of good people instead of ridding themselves of drooling idiot executives, this rant is once again safe to broadcast.

Rant--Drooling Idiot Executives

This is The FiendMaster.  Due to the fact Mr. Cooley is still trying to finish fiction to podcast, and several of his friends were let go by his former employer, I felt it was time to dig out an old rant.  Please enjoy.
