[PLUG] Re: I just got laid off.


You guys might remember me - Rupert from England, who was in Philly a
few months ago (for a few months).

I've just seen your posts re losing jobs.  Thought I'd write to send my
condolences.  

I'm back in England now, but also without a job.   Trying to get a
Linux/UNIX job with only home-based Linux experience is not proving very
sustainable.  I will probably end up with a Netware or NT position with
UNIX as a side line!

It's interesting to see that both in the UK & US, jobs are now -
1) Harder to come by.
2) Harder to keep.

Good luck to you all!
