Great talent no longer ensures job security
Monday, October 27, 2008 at 1:34PM In this downward spiral of a market, it seems that no one is safe. You can be the shining faces of a network, but that does not guarantee you will have a spot on next weeks lineup. You can be exceptionally talented at what you do, but still, there is no refuge. I found out a few hours ago that many of my esteemed former colleagues were let go at Revision3. Being someone who worked closely with each and everyone of these people, I am shocked and saddened. Sarah Lane is the queen of tech programming, someone who I thought would have been the last gal standing. Heather, Moujan, Brett, and many of the other members of the popSiren crew were brilliant. Many of my former team members are not only talented, but genuinely good people who would add to any company. I know that there are business reasons as far as why this took place, but it never is an easy thing to swallow. popSiren was a show I helped build, and to see it go is very much like knowing you will never see a good friend again. I know that many of you who read this blog discovered me on Revision3, and know that you too must be confused and upset. Please use this as a forum to sound off your feelings. Your Nerd Bird is here for ya...
