This seems to have become the pizza party story repository, so I’ll contribute mine:
Late-scheduled all-hands call at a large, publicly-traded company. The stock price had just taken a big dip. “Lots to be hopeful about,” says Senior Executive VP of VPing Dipshit McGee, specifically citing a thing I personally built and how happy the (G1000) client was with it. My entire team except one guy get caught in the layoffs the following week. Fucking idiots. It’s been over 10 years and I still check in on them every once in a while when I need a good schadenfreude hit. Stock price a tenth what it was when I left, lol. De-listed from the NYSE, lmfao. Parted out by vulture capital, 💀.
