Heh. I heard thru the grapevine that one of the other support reps in the company that fired me has decided to leave the company. They're down to one support rep (who is less experienced than I am in the company's primary product line). They've been making programmers take shifts on the support line because they don't have enough people to cover it otherwise.
I just noticed that they're advertising for my old job. I'm trying to decide whether or not to apply. On the one hand, it's a paycheck, which I could definitely use. On the other hand, that place was truly toxic, recent business decisions seem certain to destroy the company, and I don't really want to be doing tech support again. [Besides, to hire me back would mean admitting they made a mistake, something current management seems to abhor.]
