Re: worst RPG ever seen? -- RPG400-L

*Wow!  Would you write my next "Review Comments?"  LOL*

"Well, My biggest issue was I spent 4 years slugging my guts out for a
company I won't mention.  Feeling good after so many years and pats on the
back for many fixes, and after hours help.  Thought I was valued.  Turns
out, nope. Not at all.  They don't care about productivity, loyalty, etc.  I
turned down jobs while there.  Management decides to change policies and
gives me ultimatum to move or take a severance.  Never again... I swore
never again will I get myself thinking that I'm "needed".  I'm just a pawn
to be used until they decide to put me in the way of the queen to be knocked
off to save the King."
