For my siblings and family members, the title of this post will have a different meaning, taking into account certain childhood memories, thanks to Nathan.

My favorite boss, Todd Atkinson, was laid off and Friday was his last day. His layoff was not a sound management decision. While it is understandable that sometimes companies have to "trim the fat", Todd was not a piece of fat. When they laid off Todd, they began cutting into the "muscle" of the company, thus damaging the company's overall profitability. Instead of a manager of 15 people, now we have a manager who is responsible for 40-50 people. In my specific field of IT, that is not a good thing. It will be nearly impossible for my new manager to take on the role which was formerly managed by 4 separate people. I feel for him, since it seems he is being set up to fail.
Go Safeway.
As for Todd, I know he'll land on his feet. The guy could sell ice water to an Eskimo. He helped me become what I am and influenced me for the better. Here's to you, Todd!
