Re:A friend of mine worked for Turbolabs (Score 2, Interesting)

Well I worked there from May of 2000 thru May 2001. I was @ Interop in Vegas, We all (25+) tayed at THE MIRAGE, my first dinner out that night, we went across the street to this chineese place, drank and ate alot of food. After the dinner, we all put a $1 on the table, and took a bet on the bill, the bets were from $495 UP TO $800... we got the bill, it was over $1200! They paid for it by breaking it up over 2 credit cards... (So accounting would not find out about it...)... 2 weeks later, we all went to ISPCON in DISNEY... Later that year we did a road show with IBM... Boy, those were the days, we all lived good... stayed at the best hotels (sometimes, like in NYC, at $350 a night!).... ate the best foods... But as they say, all good things must come to an end! I made it thru 3 layoffs in the year I was there... I left after the 3rd one occured! I remember walking into the 1/4'ly meetings and saying... We need this, this, this and this... and every 1/4 nothing would change, expect for the VP of SALES... went thru 4 of them... I am sad to see it go... but I am not surprised! I loved working for TL and sometimes wish I could have gone back... But... then again, that was after a few drinks... The company really went downhill after CLIFF AND IRIS were fired... they were the heart an sole of the comapny (have since went on to run a succesful company www.mountainviewdata.com)... In closing.. I wish all my friends who are still there and who had worked there before.. the best of luck! P.S. always remember... Eating on the boat at PIER 39, under water... now that was cool!
