Once again, how is it that WRP got put on the map? Was it their exisiting staffs hard work and efforts that put them there? I'm a little curious as to how this all happened. I kind of see things a little differently then you apparently. But then again, I'm just a nobody now and probably couldn't even mix a drink properly if asked.

Good Chris: At one point the video distribution part of our company was over 30 employees. Everyone getting paid and good times for all. Then one of our major distributors went out of biz and suddenly we didn't have coming in what had been there before. Things got a bit tight.
We started looking around at who was really part of the bottom line and who was not. We trimmed the fluff and the fat. Many of those who were laid off or fired were pissed at us. Did we not understand that they had put us where we were?
Sure, we understood, but resting on former laurels is not a way to run a business. Where we were yesterday is not where we were in the present. We looked at who really made a difference and pared our staff down to less than half of what it was. Those people who stayed have been there for five or more years. We run a very lean and efficient operation now.
Now you may not agree with management's decision to have let you go. You may feel you deserve more. However, you don't get the privilege of those decisions until you start cutting the paychecks, plain and simple.
You are a decent chap, and I apologize if I offended you in the heat of letting Good Chris know how arrogant he is.
