For a company that has such a community focus and that is so image conscious it surprises me that Aaron would have condoned. I hope it was worth it for him.

Shame on you for so ignorantly assuming you know my situation. Not that it is relevant, but I am very happy with the work I am in now. My departure from Jobing was untimely but a blessing.

The things I have written are not only on my behalf, but on the behalf of many of my good friends who are current and former Jobing employees.

I would like to make it clear that all the statements I have made about jobing and their carelessness of their employees livelihood are in fact very true.

There are many other things I could bring to light if you care to continue this conversation. Otherwise, go drink some Kool Aid.

Don’t be a sheep and DON’T GO JOBING!!!

i hope you overcome your anger quickly as it is going to hamper your ability to find a great opportunity. utilize this time to ask yourself some tough questions about who you are and what you want to do. everyone deserves the right to be happy. find the right opportunity and company that is going to give get you where you want to be, you deserve it.

i wish you the best of luck in your job search. i hope you find something soon

Thank you for verifying the truth in my statements. Like how Jobing does NOT offer sick or vacations days and it is very true that they use that as leverage to FIRE people when they need time off. Lucky for you that you were in Aaron’s and Brian’s good graces when you needed time off. Not all people were as fortunate as you.

It is also very true that when Jobing started downsizing many months ago they FIRED people for “performance issues” as apposed to laying them off with a severance package. You can spin it anyway you want, but the reality is that Jobing needed to shed weight in a falling economy and that was the cheapest way to do it. Did they do anything illegal? Probably not. Was it wrong? I would say it was and I am sure that the People who were effected would agree.

Jobing is a small company and the people who work there are like family, a family of sheep.

Good for you that you “drank the Kool Aid and loved it”. I drank the Kool Aid as well, but Jobing puts way too much sugar in it and after the sugar high wears off it leaves a very bitter taste in your mouth.

GO JOBING!!! Or get fired from Jobing.

just to counter your points…

1. They don’t “layoff”, they FIRE people! Makes a big difference in unemployment costs.
–in times like this it is just semantics. many released were done so because of performance in conjunction with the poor economy. jobing is not immune to the troubles in the labor market.

2. No severance packages offered.
–everyone i know who was release was given some kind of severance package with their insurance continued through the end of the month of the last paycheck received.

3. They don’t offer any sick or vacation days to any of their employees so no payouts. It also gives them a reason to fire someone if they need time off since there is no set amount of days an employee can have.
–the reason jobing doesn’t have a policy like this is because they are pro-employee. they believe that if someone needs the time they take the time and the take what they need. it is very progressive and was done in the benefit of the employee. i know many employees who benefited from the policy.

i offer these thoughts as fact and not opinion because i was employed with jobing.com for more than 2 years. i was laid off 7 months ago and i agreed with the layoff due to what was right for the business. my function was no longer required given the current state of the business.

i was offered a generous severance package with insurance benefits extended during that time.

during the first 9 months i was employed, i required time off for three surgeries for family members, of which two required me out of the office for extended periods of time. i was told to take as much time as i needed. the only thing i was asked to do was keep my team informed.

while i am no longer with jobing, i still have a deep love for the people and mission. i drank the kool aid and loved it. i was heart broken when my employment ended. everyone searches for a job they are passionate about, one where they love going to work everyday because it isn’t work. that is what i had there.

as i told aaron and brian the day i was let go, it was a hell of a ride and i hope i get a chance to get on again.

good luck and go jobing!

So there is the 3 step plan of how to downsize at no financial risk from Jobing.com.

GOOO JOBING!!!
