Ugh.

Just talked to my best friend last night. He works for a small video game developer that does games for the PS3. They are small enough that the whole company works on only one game at a time. Their publisher just cancelled their contract for their one and only game in development.

He expects to be looking for a new job soon too.

My mother, who works for a rental car company, was telling me that someone from corporate sent an e-mail to the wrong "Linda" in her office three weeks ago. In the e-mail was a reference to her (my mother's) office closing. The very next day, three people from corporate showed up in person to deny the rumors (my mother doesn't buy their denials). She's just waiting for the "official" word.

Lot's of people in a lot of industries are hurting right now, but at least we are bailing out the largest, least profitiable companies, right?
