'sok, though. I faxed a non-disclosure agreement to the company pres and VP. They were both returned "Unable to Sign - Legal".

I found it mildly amusing.

That company gets a tax subsidy for employing "a large number of people" every year. They continue to do this yearly by laying off "a large number of people", then hiring on more "people" to do the same jobs at the lower starting wage.

Smart business tactic, eh?
