bunsen_hBecause of the economic downturn, my employer has been cutting back on some things.
One of the things they just cut back on was me.
I wasn't expecting it at all; I was expecting them to do wage rollbacks, work-sharing, reduced work weeks, that kind of thing. Apparently they're going to be doing that stuff as well, but they're also letting people go, a significant fraction of the employees, and evidently not just the newest ones. I guess they had to find that difficult balance between "the experience to know how the accumulated kludgery works" and "the higher salaries" or something.
So: I'm looking for work. Ideally computational chemistry, but I have a varied background in lab chemistry and theoretical chem, plus plenty of years of software work. I'd appreciate any leads. Networking is not one of my strengths.
Crap.
