I didn't lose my job yesterday. But 400 of my coworkers did. Thanks and hugs to everyone concerned for my wellbeing, I greatly appreciate the warm thoughts. (To clarify: "Go.com" no longer refers to the company as a whole, but to the web site, which employed a significant portion of the company. The second piece of news is that "Walt Disney Internet Group" no longer refers to the company either, as the Group been completely absorbed into The Walt Disney Company.)

end those warm thoughts our way! about a dozen of us in the Seattle office worked on GO and got the ax concurrent with the entire Sunnyvale squad. a few others scattered around the country, too. certainly not a surprise, and it makes all the sense in the world for the business, but of course it's still tough personally. good luck to Dan & all those still there (for now).
