01/08/2002 Archived Entry: "Old company == broke company"

My inbox has been lighting up with reports from fellow ex-coworkers. Looks like the company I worked for while constructing the majority of the Chronicles of George is going down in flames--funding for this month is questionable, and the whole place might shut down soon.

I feel bad. For the first year, it was such a great place to work. I'm happy that I at least got to experience the "dot com" feeling when dot coms were still happy, good things. I doubt that ever again will I work in a place that provides free food and drink and has a "wear whatever's clean" dress code.

If the company ever tanks and vanishes completely, I'll happily post its name and be willing to more fully talk about my experiences there. As is, though, since they still exist and operate, I will not say anything connected to them that could possibly be construed as damaging or disparaging.
