What's the shadiest tactic you've witnessed HR use at your job?
They used false “help wanted” ads to fire their own employees that were looking for a new job.I worked for a lead generation service which sold qualified lists of homeowners (and their telephone numbers) to financial advisers. Then, they sold those same financial advisers a telemarketing service that would call those homeowners and arrange appointments with them. There is so much that is “shady” about this company that it is impossible to bring up one questionable act without first explaining several previous questionable or downright illegal acts. (UPDATE: if you want more details about how bad it was to work for this place, check out John Hursey's answer to What is the most ridiculous reason for which you have been fired?)After a particularly horrifying series of events right around the holiday season, I decided to begin looking for a new job. I got on craigslist, and I found several positions in customer service and data entry that were available right in my city. I sent them a quick email with my resume attached, and waited for a response.The next day I was called into the President’s office. He invited me to sit down. His mother (the vice president of the company) was standing behind him. He asked me if I was happy working for him.Luckily for me, I knew this was a trap of some kind and answered honestly. I told him that I was interested in having more free time with a more flexible schedule and that it would be impossible to do so with my current job, so I was in the process of looking for something else. I also told him that I had informed my direct supervisor of my intentions last week, and that I would give the company adequate warning—at least two weeks notice—before I quit.He and his mother looked at each other. Well, he said, it turns out that one of the companies I had applied to was the very same company I worked for now. I thought that was odd, because I don’t have any intellectual disabilities or mental impairments that would indicate I would apply to the same company that I currently worked for. Nevertheless, I told him that I suppose this was good news, since perhaps I could simply transfer to whatever this open position was and still maintain my employment with his company while working the schedule that was most convenient for myself.Not so fast. It turned out there wasn’t any positions available in those departments. Their strategy was to entice applicants with positions in data entry and customer service and then during the interview inform them that those positions had been filled; those applicants were then offered much less pay and schedule flexibility as a salesman. In addition, current employees that applied for these jobs were summarily fired for being “disloyal.”A month later I was terminated, for reasons I still do not fully understand. I applied for unemployment, and when I explained the series of events leading to my termination the lady at the unemployment office literally scoffed at me and told me that my story was unbelievable. She even called me personally at home to tell me that the company was contesting my unemployment filing and that she expected me to lose the arbitration process.The day of the hearing I got a phone call from the same lady, in tears. She apologized profusely for how she had treated me. She had just completed a five-minute interaction with the president and his mother, confirming not only my story but also her worst fears about humanity in general.

Indian Men: What scares Indian men?
Today is the worst day of my life. I am going to write about the worst experience in my entire 24-year-old life span. I want to forget it as soon as possible.So today I went to meet my friend. I signNowed the spot early and started waiting for him.It wasn't long when I saw few policemen approaching me.One of the policemen asked me “What are you doing here ?”I said “Sir, I’m waiting for my friend”Policeman: “Which friend? Can you call him?”Me: “Yes of course sir.”Policeman: “Then call him and give it to me.”I tried to call him but unfortunately, it wasn’t connecting. Man! I was scared as hell.I tried three-four times and then he said.Policeman: “Stop making excuses. I know boys like you. You people come here and harass girls.”Me: “No sir, absolutely not. I’m a decent guy. I am a college student myself.”Policeman: “Don’t talk much, just sit in the jeep.”Me: “Sir believe me I’m innocent.”Suddenly he dragged me toward the police vehicle by holding my collar and forced me to sit there. There were three more boys in that jeep.They took us somewhere. When we signNowed we were taken to a big hall kind of room. There were many policemen and women there.There was a policewoman who seemed the most senior among them.She said “Don’t you people have shame. Don’t you think about your mother and sisters before harassing girls? It’s because of people like you women are unsafe in India” She was loud in her tone.She continued “But no worry. Now I have taken the charge and I will ensure girl’s safety in this city. To do that I will teach a good lesson to molesters like you so that you won’t be harassing any girl in the future.”When she was finished a few policemen came and directed us toward another hall. There, our mobiles, watches, wallets and other things were taken. Then they told us to remove our shirt or t-shirts anything we were wearing on upper body, that too in front of some policewomen.I was feeling very shy but I did it as I had no other option.“Chalo ab sab ke sab murga ban jao”(Now everyone, take cock position)We did as they said. Suddenly someone hit me on my hips with a broad stick. It was unbearable.“Saale ba**we”(Bas***ds!)We were kept like that for 30 minutes. In between, they were shouting on us and hitting us on our butt. They were telling us to keep our hips up and don’t sit comfortably.Then we were told to do 50 sit-ups, holding our ears and saying “Ab kabhi ladki nhi chedenge”(We will never tease girls from now on).While doing so, I noticed almost all of us were crying(including me). The policewomen standing there were having a good laugh on us and throwing cuss words regularly.God knows how many innocents were there. After all this, they let us go but with a strong warning.I came to my room straightaway and cried for several hours recalling the bad experience which I had. I haven’t eaten anything yet. Now I’m writing this with tears dropping from my eyes.This was one of the pages from the diary of Anirav. It’s been 2 years still, he hasn’t forgotten that incident. Every time when he remembers whatever happened with him that day, it scares the sh*t out of him.So what scares Indian Men? Fear of getting accused of something which they never did and penalized for the same, that too without :any evidence.any chance to defend themselves.any fair trial.any investigation.listening to their side of story.And with :the help of gender-biased laws.the help of misandry spreading among the society nowadays.the help of mentality that “men are always wrong”the lack of support provided to men by law, police, and society.the sudden increase in pseudo-feminism and false notion of equality.For those who don’t know, this is murga (Cock) position:Source:- Google Images

What are common scams in India?
Common Scams in India:Scene 1: Aadhar mobile number update:Went to a private Aadhar e-seva kendra, filled form and was ready to submit. Assumed it’s going to be nominal charges for same. Lady said 300rs. I said bye bye.Went to e-seva kendra. This time all done. Lady asked for 50rs. I said I know its 25rs.She said “Sir we have to pay rent as well.”I said “As you are asking very less compared to others I will pay 50rs.”Felt bad about it later. Complained to UIDAI via twitter. Got reply that they will register an official complain and take necessary action.In addition to this its very common that these e-seva center charge anything between 100–300rs for new Aadhar registration(should be completely free) or update(nominal charge of 25rs). Saw it happening in one instance, raised my voice but no one supported. Seems everyone else was just wanted to get their work done and I was creating a nuisance.Scene 2: Mobile number portability:Went to Idea store. With commanding voice, I said “I am here for MNP”, as I was giving them a new customer. Got reply from lady “minimum recharge of 475rs will be needed for MNP”. I said “MNP charge is 19rs, what recharge I do after that is my choice”. But this lead to nothing. Left the store.Visited a local idea retailer. Inquired about MNP and he said 178rs minimum recharge. Didn’t want to argue again. Paid the money and left for home. Felt bad again, later complained to idea_cellular and TRAI via twitter. Still to receive a response.Even for mobile and Aadhar linking some retailers charge money, its supposed to be completely free.Scene 3: Flash Back - Last monthHad a bad mood and my train was about to leave. Thought some water could help. Went to stall and asked for two water bottles. Vendor asked for 40rs(20rs per bottle, MRP was 15rs). I became furious and scolded him left and right. Got my money back (10rs). Complained to local DRM via twitter. Got response that action will be taken and immediate fine of 500rs is charged to vendor.You see what I am trying to say, here in our country(not only our country) people always find a way to dig out money or more money by this means or another, many are aware of it but many just ignore it. I know I can’t be idealistic all the time but it disturbs me seeing people’s common lust for money around me.Call it a scam or whatever, but it’s part of our life, it’s more of a mindset and reflection of our ideologies.We might accept it, ignore it or fight against it.Sometimes it seems like endless cycle, because “We the people” always find innovative ways to scam each other.Take Care.PS. Purpose of this answer not to brag, but to make aware. What you do after that is up to you.****Made few corrections, Thanks for views, comments and upvotes, If this helps even 1% of who read, my effort was worth of something.********Corrected Aadhaar update charges as 25rs, uidai official twitter handle communicated 25+taxes hence the confusion. I would like to thank all who appreciated me in comments. Still you see I was not perfect during handling these situations, hoping to get better with that.********Update: Idea care responded, got call from manager of said idea store, he apologised and asked me to visit again. He said there are no charges for mnp and recharge is optional. I told him to mention this everytime time any customer comes for mnp rather then projecting a mandatory recharge. Also asked to make sure his team members follow that. I said I or any of my friends will be visiting store anytime and will complain again if same incident happens. Hope this is some kind of win.Got update regarding e-seva kendra complaint as well. “Fine is imposed and warning is issued.” Couldn't check personally but this is official reply.****

After being fired, did you ever leave a "present" for your boss in his/her office? If so, what was it?
Whenever I’ve left of my own volition for career development, I’ve always done my very best to leave a good impression. I have always maximised my effort to leave all my projects and responsibilities in a good state, well documented and questions answered by my replacement or peer colleagues.I’ve been managed-out a couple of times in my career, this is just a natural consequence of being driven in my work, you tend alienate poor managers when their shortcomings are exposed. In these cases the best present you can leave is to make sure your colleagues understand the circumstances and show ou...

Have you ever lost a job offer because you negotiated your salary too high?
No, I have never seen anyone lose a job offer because they negotiated for too high a salary.That said, I have only seen people lose a job offer due to the WAY they negotiated, not WHAT they negotiated.Ask for whatever you want: higher salary, more stock options, title, vacation time, etc.If you do not ask, then you will never get.It is the way you ask. Those people that negotiate professionally, with respect, with data supporting their position…those that ask nicely will have a much better chance being successful than those that do not.Quick story:I was looking to hire a GREAT engineer. Super talented with incredible skills, top tier education, and had worked at a number of high caliber companies.We really, REALLY, wanted to hire him.He was negotiating for 30% more in salary and stock options than what we were offering. In truth, I was more than willing to give him the 30% increase…in fact, I would have even gone higher.BUT…He was super aggressive and arrogant in the negotiation, even going as far as saying that I would be stupid to not hire him and that there was no one better than him.I paused in our conversation and pictured him working at my company, interacting with other engineers…the picture quickly looked like a nightmare. As such, I told him I was actually pretty stupid, and that we were passing on the opportunity to hire him.Bullet dodged.Two big take aways:Always ask for what you wantTreat people the way you would want to be treated in that situation

What kind of changes did you see in the way your coworkers treated you as/after your gender transition?
I actually had this experience more than twice due to the circumstances of my transition.AOLI initially started my transition at AOL where I was doing tech support and started by talking to the head of HR. He was very supportive and he had several private meetings with me to discuss how we would move forward. This was actually very good. I wanted this to go as smoothly as possible and be the least traumatic of a situation as possible for me and for my co workers.We had set a plan for when and how to tell my direct supervisor and my teammates and HR would make a general statement informing people of non discrimination policies. So far, so good! Better than I expected even.Then tragedy struck.Somehow my direct supervisor found out about my plan to come out without me or HR telling her yet. I had no reason beforehand to believe she was biased against transgender people but boy did she surprise me. My supervisor waited until the head of HR was out of town on a business trip and a temp was covering for him. She knew the head of HR would never sign off on her plan normally.Then she cooked up a phony story about my stats not meeting the metrics and used that as an excuse to fire me. I had never been written up, warned or disciplined for my stats before. The stats in question that she used as the excuse were outside of the guidelines they wanted us to meet, that is true. What she did not mention to the temp was the entire department was not meeting those stats because the expectation was set too high.I actually began to cry. I asked her"Why are you doing this? This isn't right. I can't possibly have the worst stats on our team I have seen the team stats!".Everything I said fell on deaf ears. I asked to speak to HR and she told me the other person in the room was HR. I told her I wanted to speak to the head of HR and it was then she told me he was out of town and this woman I had never seen was from a temp agency while he was gone for business. It was then I realized what she had done. She knew this firing would never have gotten by him. She knew it was outside policy but here she had a temp that would gladly sign off anything she handed her and assume the supervisor was following procedure as long as it at least looked proper.Out of 20 metrics 3 were outside of the ideal and only marginally. Every single team in our project was off on those particular stats. She fired no one else that day even though my stats were not even close to being the worst. In fact some of my stats were the highest in the project. My customer satisfaction rates were consistently in the top 10 the entire time I worked there. I had awards to prove it!The Temporary HR person new almost nothing about the job having only been there for 3 days and rubber stamped the firing. I was sent out into the rain to take a bus home. I distinctly remember staring out into the busy road in the rain and thinking about stepping forward each time a semi truck began to pass me at 40mph in front of the bus stop.WALMARTMy transition had just started, I had begun HRT and laser hair removal but was not confident with my ability to pass as female yet. So when I started to look for work I did such as a guy. I got a job at Walmart when my unemployment ran out and eventually decided to tell them about the transition. Most people were okay with it. The General Manager for the store asked me to sit in on the morning Supervisor meeting to share that I would be transitioning to all of them. One of them did not take it well.My direct supervisor was openly hostile to me. I don’t know if it was due to some kind of internalized homophobia or bias he held but he acted VERY strange. He took me aside during my shift the next day and berated me about me being in the meeting the day before.He told me that…“You don’t talk about something like that!” “You don’t just go and announce something like that!” “Why did you feel the need to go and tell everyone you are transgender?”I tried to explain to him that I informed management that I would be coming to work under my new name and that I would be presenting myself as female. I told him it was the GM’s idea that I talk to the staff meeting. Not mine.He spent the next few weeks finding every excuse he could to chew into me or get me fired. It didn’t work. I was flawless in my job performance. He had no cause. It was during one specific instance where I asked him to clarify some unclear requests he had made that he blew up. He had given me a list of things that needed to be done but some of them contradicted each other and I asked him over to clarify.He went off on me on the front line by the registers and in full view of customers and employees. He said I was “such a baby” and asked me “Why do I need to explain this! You are not a child! Figure it out yourself!” “Why are you bothering me?”He was visibly unhinged. His behavior and his body language left me scared. The next day I reported it to the GM and he pulled the surveillance tapes for that night. The next day he was fired. It was obvious even from a silent tape the way he was gesticulating at me and the way I was cringing back that he was out of line. The other management rode me harder until I quit that job. I got what I hoped would be a better job doing tech support again. Walmart marked my file as “Not Eligible for Rehire” even though I had no disciplinary marks on my file and I gave 2 weeks notice.AFNIMy next job was at AFNI doing customer service and tech support. I applied as a male because again I passed better as male and I did not yet have identification in my female name or gender. I was still on Hormone Replacement Therapy and taking other transition steps but it was not very obvious yet. A double layer of loose shirts and keeping a scruffy beard hid any changes.I worked there for almost 6 months before telling them about my transition. This put me outside of the “New Hire Period” and meant that company policy required more reason to fire me. During the first few months it was policy that you could be fired at any time with or without cause. Technically by AZ state law this was true anyhow but the company required more evidence before firing tenured employees. (In customer service turnover is so high 6 months is tenured.)I was making less than half what I made at AOL and couldn't find a better job. I suspected someone was leaving bad referrals for me at AOL but could never prove it.As I began my transition on the job at this new company things got worse. Once I left for lunch only to find someone had scrawled across my desk in big pink marker..."Sissy faggot bitch"Or something to that effect, time is beginning to erase the memory but it tore me in half at the time. The words stung me like a hot knife. I felt like I was being bullied at school all over again. How could adults act like this? I found one of the supervisors that I knew would be my ally here as I knew he was gay and reported it to him. He was as pissed as me and despite a serious effort to find the culprit somehow no one had seen someone write in 6 inch tall letters this huge graffiti across my desk. Bullshit, someone knew they just didn't care. Jr. High all over again.I tried to continue reporting any further harassment and began to practice voice training so I could sound more feminine on the phone and in life. It turned out I was very good at it. Before long every customer said miss or mam to me and I never got called sir. Passing on the phone was a huge thing for me and I still remember my first Valentines Day at work. Guys get weird but in a cute way on Valentines Day. They suddenly gush out affection for even random women they talk to on the phone. I can only guess it is practice for their girlfriends later. Anyhow that was when I knew I was passing. The warm, happy Valentine’s day comments, the kind words and almost flirty sound to their voices was shocking. I actually prefer women to men but the effect of being fawned on was still not lost on me. It really did feel special.Another example of the harassment I received at work was this... During a monitored call one of the people that assesses our calls gave a horrible review of my call. They particularly gave me the lowest possible score on tone of voice and language used on the call. Everything else was rated at middle of the road or worse. What they didn't know was the client Verizon Wireless randomly monitored that exact same call. Their monitors gave me a perfect score for the exact same call! Same day, same time and same customer telephone number. It was clear that someone was not judging me on my performance but on my transition. The tone of voice being rated at 1 on a scale of 10 was a symbol of their disapproving of what they considered to be a "boy" that sounds so much like a woman. The disparity between the client loving my call and telling my supervisor it was one of the best they had heard and the monitors report made it clear to everyone I was being targeted. Yet no one was fired but now my calls were being reviewed by a new monitor instead.In other instances at that workplace I had my mouse remotely being controlled by one of the reviewers. (They can take over your mouse or keyboard.) They made my mouse go in circles and made it so I could not click on what I needed to in order to do my job. Problems continued.Then one day I was asked to go to HR by a manager I didn’t know. The HR officer had a very small office with two chairs tightly squeezed in there. I was told to sit in the seat furthest from the door and the supervisor sat next to me. Things were so tight that I literally could not get up or leave unless that supervisor (a very big man) got up or I climbed over his lap.The HR rep told me it was time for me to part ways with the company. He put a paper that said “Voluntary Resignation Form” in front of me and said I was not leaving the office until I signed it. I tried to ask why I was being fired he would not discuss it. I asked him why he was forcing me to sign this paper, again he refused to explain. Eventually trapped by two large men I signed the paper but not without fighting back.One of the reasons they tried to get me to sign the paper was made clear later.When I applied for unemployment I was told I was denied because I had quit voluntarily. She said that AFNI had sent the paperwork over proving such. I told her to look over the form very carefully. I told her I was forced into signing it so I made it clear on the form that this was not voluntary.^RecreationThe woman on the phone began to laugh. She said, “That was very clever. I’ve had people claim they were forced into signing these things before but they had no way to prove it. You are the first one I saw that did.”. I got my unemployment but she didn’t pursue the thing any further than that.I could have sued AFNI for what they did. The paper was in my file at unemployment and their actions were undefendable but at the time I was trying not to end up homeless even with the unemployment and I was in the middle of a mental breakdown. Three jobs now I had tried to transition at and at three jobs I was fired. It seemed the whole world was against me. I didn’t have the energy or fortitude to fight that kind of fight. I didn’t even know if a lawyer would take my case. I had tried to fight the AOL firing earlier and had no luck finding a lawyer.See, it still is not illegal, to this day 15 years later, to fire a person for being transgender in AZ and no federal prohibition exists.An employer can literally walk down the aisle of their business asking each employee if they are transgender and then if they say yes, fire them on the spot. Such is completely legal. Even if the employee said no and the employer felt they looked like they might be transgender they can fire them for being suspected of being transgender. Same thing if they refused to answer. In fact it is totally legal to just go down a list of names and write tranny next to some of them and fire them. There just is no law in most states and no federal law.This is why we need the Employment Non-Discrimination Act.This day Nov 20th is Transgender Day of Remembrance is often a very sad one for me. I decided this year to spend it by answering questions about Transgender Issues and raising awareness of the issues involved. This Addendum will be at the bottom of all of the answers I write today.

What are the really small things that tell a lot about a person's psychology and personality?
There are a number of small behaviours that, when observed together, can help us identify the most dangerous people in our midst. The following is a list of red flags that point toward people with personality disorders such as Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) and psychopathy.People with Personality Disorders (PDs) are more common than you think - you probably know at least few without realizing it - and they are important to be able to identify because of the destruction and damage they leave behind.Not all flags are seen in all people with PDs, but if you know someone with several of these flags, be very careful around them… in fact… avoid them if you possibly can.Remorseless - does not show remorse in the way ‘normal’ people do when they make a mistake or hurt youEmpathy - don’t feel or show empathy as you might expect. Watch their reactions to other people (or animals) sufferingCan’t apologize - almost a complete inability to apologize. Or if they do apologize they will point a finger back at someone else as part of the ‘cause’.Overvalue-Devalue-Discard - this is the pattern of abuse they follow in relationships. They put someone on a pedestal and show them off, ‘love-bomb’, and worship; then they start to devalue that person - which can be a subtle series of behaviours, such as small put-downs, corrections, annoyance; then they discard the person completely, walking away with no remorse, enjoying the pain they inflict on the individual they have discardedGrandiosity - the overvalue themselves, think they are ‘special’, ‘unique’, smarter or better than others. They are often very hypocritical. They have a need to feel better than others and for this ‘superiority’ to be seen by others. Watch out for people who put down others.Few if any Deep Relationships - relationships are superficial; people with good radar often take a distinct dislike to them; they have very few deep and true relationships.Odd Bad Behaviour - hurtful, rude, strange, obnoxious, surprising behaviour that you find it difficult to explain away; that seems at odds with the personality that they usually wear around you. The feeling of ‘cognitive dissonance’ (when you see/hear one thing that seems completely contradictory to what you would expect) is a feeling people often get around these people.Materialism - people whose self-esteems depends a great deal (perhaps fully) on how they are perceived by others. This results in materialism sometimes - needing to have the better car, better clothes, better house, better whatever, so they can appear in a certain way to others.Parasitic behaviour - will take as much from others (money, things, a place to live, a car to drive, etc etc) as they can. Often have no money or assets of their own.Relationships with the Opposite Sex - as soon as one ends they are on to the next (or continue to cause pain to the one they are discarding until they find a new source of supply.There are many many more specific behaviours that are very characteristic of these dangerous people. I recommend searching for ‘Red Flags of Narcissistic Personality Disorder’ (or ‘Psychopaths’, or another personality disorder term). Educate yourself so that you can identify and avoid these people. Once you know what to look for they are not difficult to spot….namaste!

In business, when did your boss's arrogance really cost them?
I've told this story before, but the very first videogame company I worked at dealt in mobile games and was on the brink of death. The owner of the studio, purely a money guy, let his creative partner manage day to day operations and project planning.The owner’s son, who was the IT guy who did nothing but smoke weed all day and watch YouTube, was offered the opportunity to build and lead the team but, after 6 months, they had next to no progress as he had never made a game before and therefore was a poor leader for a group of young college game developers on a big project.They moved the son back to IT and then hired an experienced AAA game producer and also hired a veteran programmer to lead our team. Also me as an extra pair of hands on the development side. We only worked together for 9 months but we churned out several games and managed to turn the games arm of the studio around completely through lots of late nights and hard work.Our golden moment came when a very large videogame publisher issued us a technical test to work on a mobile version of their videogame racing franchise…. Our Lead Producer deployed our best artist, programmer and designer to the task, and they created an incredible technical demo.The publisher looked at it, sent a representative from Canada to meet the team the first time to tour our office and introduce ourselves and the second time to deliver a fancy $100 bottle of wine to celebrate our new partnership.This was a massive deal and could have meant something huge for all of our careers and the studios reputation not to mention the contract paid well. Our team leader producer had lots of plans for giving us all raises, expanding the team, and putting us in amazing position to make the best game we ever had and put our studio on the map.Enter the ignorant company owner. Of course as everyone knows the big bottle of expensive wine was a token gesture of a promising new future… until the legal paperwork is signed nothing is for certain.The publisher sends over their contractual agreements, of course the lawyers and contractors read it over and the owner of the studio is stuck on one specific clause in the contract. We'll be working with an industry leader on their famous car racing franchise naturally they desire a non-compete agreement, this agreement last 2 years and makes the studio promise we will not make a car racing game for those next two years after release for anyone else.Mind you it's not the greatest deal in the world but such a business opportunity typically means at least a year of support and additional content being developed by our team and of course opens us up to countless opportunities for more work in the future with them or doing something different with other partners.I can't express it enough, this is a remarkable turn around and lifelong opportunity, for a studio whose main product wasn't even videogames this was unheard of… but the big boss wasn't buying it. He keeps pushing the contract back trying to make edits to it and find ways to maintain IP control or ownership of what we develop. After weeks of doing the contract dance all of a sudden the big publisher goes quiet.While we were dancing with the contract the studio was creating it's “Slate” or schedule for the upcoming year and we missed the window to be scheduled for one of the upcoming quarters. I think the project was estimated to take a year.Talks cease for the project we all go from thinking we've struck gold and helped build the next big successful small game team story to in less than 2 months half of us being laid off when no new contracts are won or offered.From that point onwards it seemed like their overall business went down and continued to fall apart. They made a lot of money with flash web projects but those projects died out and they also did a lot of CG rendering work and that is just a hard space to compete in period especially while supporting a whole office of people.I assume they lost the studio, I walk by it whenever I go to that beach and there's been a different name there for years.So what did my company owner’s arrogance towards signing a big contract which the two industry veterans on my team thought was standard cost him and us? Essentially his entire office and a way to make a strong pivot into the mobile games space as the industry was just developing.A few of the same studios that existed back then with us have been acquired by those and similar large publishers they dealt with ($$$$) or are still going strong after working on one of those big life changing game opportunities that we talked about.
