What company was it?

I used to work for Chiang Patel & Yerby and they have grown big time since I left them 12 years ago and many of the same people I knew there are STILL THERE! Try there...

I have changed careers to electronics design since that job...but it got me to DFW.

So, squish! Did you spend the day drinking heavily... or polishing the resume? both?

sschell: I was given the choice to resign or be fired. I made them fire me. I don't care if you sign my paychecks or not, you're not walking all over me, and whoever thinks that being forced to resign saves your dignity is an *** bc everybody knows what happened anyway.

Cement: That's not funny.

SuperAlpha: NATHAN MAIER Go check out their ****** webpage. Spam all you want. Just wait a little bit. ;-) I've heard of Chiang Patel but the crazy ***** that had a good hand in this moved here from there so I'm not sure that's a good idea. It's definitely an option though. I've heard good things about employee retention, which says a lot about her leaving and getting screwed up in this crap.

TXengrChickPE: that is one cute baby! I haven't actually gotten drunk over this yet. I really hate to admit it. The resume was already polished as I was already leaving- I left my thumbdrive at work which is the ONLY reason I found any of this out- I went to get it Saturday. I might try again tonight- it's so hot here right now that I just want to lay around, beer or not.

NATHAN MAIER Go check out their ****** webpage.

I notice they are looking for a water resources engineer. Is that your old position Squish?

Would you mind acting as my reference? That wouldn't be weird or anything, right?

That is just jacked up right there.

LOL Casey!!

BTW: That is one crappy website Squishles. I have seen one worse than that though....... :17:

I always retain skepticism on a professional company named soley after one person -

 

[squishles10]

Casey- thanks for the laugh- it's the first i've had all weekend.

kevo- thats not very nice. theres at least one skill i have that they could have used.

error_matrix- i tend to agree but it did start out as a small company and the guy died in a freak accident so it wont be changed. i understand the logic there.

That's why you're supposed to put & ASSOCIATES after it.

Then call it the finest blah blah blah..........

 

[SuperAlpha]

How many people here are from the DFW area? It is time for a meet & greet in real life! Dave & Buster's anyone?

 

[maryannette]

Today is a new day, Squish. I hope it brings some good news for you.

Maybe we could hack into the site and change the company name to "Oscar Maier"???

If they need someone for stormwater modeling, I hear there's a guy in Florida...

So did they fire you for cause? Or lay you off due to workload? Makes a difference for unemployment I would think.

I just caught up on this and while it sucks, at least now you're getting paid to look for a new job and not be there. The way they did it was super messed up though.

 

[squishles10]

Oscar Maier- I love it!!! And I LOVE Dave and Busters- let's go! Turns out I have some free time! It doesn't make a difference, but it wasn't for cause. They never gave me a performance review after being there well over a year, so I think I can win anything they try and throw back at the UE guys.

 

[bigray76]

There are a couple of Dave & Busters down by Philly, but none yet up in my neck of the woods in Jersey....

$2 pints on me when you get to Jersey squish!

Damn, MIA for the weekend, in the field yesterday, and I miss this. My condolences, Squish. I have never heard of a company doing that...definitely not on the up-and-up. Question...did they believe in the whole 'ethics of engineering' thing? Cuz they sure ain't ethical. Suggestion for company name change: Nathan Maier---> Oscar Maier & Weenies. I had a similar situation that I have described elsewhere, and I was out of engineering for a year. I didn't have a PE, though. Try not to lay around too much...you'll end up driving yourself crazy! After a grieving period, make yourself active! Of course, if you are collecting UE, the job search should take care of that. Good luck!
