Subject: [TN] Received layoff notice

TechNetters,

Well, at about two months shy of fifteen years, I have received my layoff notice from RIM -> Blackberry for the 27th of November.  What a ride!  I got to work for a company that changed the world. They let me go to IPC APEX the week BEFORE I joined the company (and paid for it), build a group of 50 of the greatest people and buy new, state-of-the art equipment so we had a lab comparable to the other two best electronics manufacturing industry labs in Canada. I joined when we were selling a little pager sized e-mail device that ran on an AA battery. It was so tough you could literally throw it at a wall, pop the battery back in and it kept on ticking.  The ride up was fantastic and the ride down has been as fast, although not nearly as much fun.  Over the last four years I picked people and I walked them out the door.  For sure the worst moments of my life in any job.  For a number of reasons the company lost its leading edge advantage  and is now just a shell of its former self.  I wish my remaining  compatriots there all the best, as it morphs into. ??.

 

Anybody have a need for a slightly used chemist/lab administrator?  I am not ready to hang up my spurs yet.

 

Regards,

Bev Christian
