Fucked Company
Monday, Aug 07, 2000

This site epitomizes my corporate experiences. Fucked Company is the dot-com deadpool, where people go to predict which companies will have layoffs, takeovers, or will outright fold, and if you're right you gain points and acclaim!

The scary thing is I'd probably be a winner if I only picked those companies who I've worked for at one time or another, including Petstore.com (completely folded, selling assets to Pets.com), Creditland (on its last legs after laying off 3 VPs and 20 others last month), and marchFIRST who had the relatively minor fuck of laying off 200 employees in the Whitman-Hart -/ USWeb/CKS merger. (Do I use a slash or a hyphen when one company has a hyphen and the other has a slash? I guess if I wanted to be precise I'd call it Whittman- Hart- USWeb- Ikonic- a- hundred- little- webcos- Cleary- Kvamme- Suiter- Partners- almost- called- reinvent- but- someone- was- too- close- but- razorfish- stole- it- anyhow- and- now- we're- one- happy- marchFIRST.)
