QC: Darn, I already won it from you months ago (Whew! Ghorpm Giveaway Champion!!!! At least for the ones with determinable rules)
avatar
Ghorpm: Oh yes you are! That's why I've decided to make it a bit different because otherwise it would be obvious who would win ;)
avatar
QC: Anyway, I'm out unless I can use it to trade with. Thanks for the giveaway, +1 and Happy Birthday.
avatar
Ghorpm: I would prefer to give it to somebody who wants to play it herself/himself
Maybe next time then. Good luck with the giveaway. By the way, your reputation: 420. And you're in Poland. And it's your Birthday. What are you doing here when you could be getting trashed!?!??!
I'm in! Congrats on winning the prize.

dr.schliemann: Your story is very interesting and made me wondering about the kind of job you quitted.
Scientist. Physicist. Basically I run around a lab dressed like this ;)
Great to hear, hope you'll find a new working place soon enough, though!

I don't know whether I should be in or not, since I have this on STEAM (but without the extras, of course). Just decide for yourself if I should win :)

Not yet! Just a few more days. All is not lost that is delayed ;)
Bastards ! Don't worry, you'll find some place better. Not in but +1
First things first, +1 for the giveaway and I'm in, in fact, I'm in goes first, then the +1.

Now you know that your hard work did count for more than one people, enough to present you a prize that they are willing to give no matter what.

Just keep like that.
Way to stand up for your principles and your co-workers. Good job.
And way to stand up for your GOG brethren with a giveaway, thanks :)!
Oh, the irony...
Thanks both for the giveaway and the lulz.
I'm in on the condition that the "weird technique" used to determine a winner involves some form of VooDoo, HooDoo or Wichcraft. I don't trust the pseudo-science of random numbers.


I left my last job under similar conditions. The company was taken over by another and the new owners sent in their PR guy to tell us "Don't worry. Nothing is changing. You all still have jobs with us, we have big plans for you." A week later half my department was fired, then half of what was left got fired over the following 2 weeks. Those of us who were left got packets to fill out where we basically had to justify reasons why we should not be fired. Another company siezed the opportunity and hired the whole group that got fired. They then called me up asked if I wanted a job with all my old coworkers. My old boss found out and was very upset. She asked me point blank if I was leaving. I said that nothing was definite but I was considering it. She told me to hand in my resignation in the morning. At that point I said no need to wait and quit right then. I found out later that my old boss had tried to use me as part of the justification for keeping her position.
Happy birthday, I'm in :)

Thanks
low rated

Sound like typical managment. They yell alot and flail about, but really dont have any idea what there doing.

Random numbers and not weird at all so rest assured that it would be a weird technique ;)

Exactly! I'm not trying to underestimate their input. But the fact is that I can easily imagine a lab where everything is run by scientists (including administrative part which none of us are good at). But you cannot do the opposite: a lab without scientists, just with a management simply cannot exist. And they seem not to realize that. Or at least they behave so.
