I'll just come out and say it was SevOne, although it was well before the acquisition. This was right around the time they got a huge infusion of cash from Chinese investors.
Sorry, must have been rough.
Thanks, it was. What's sad is that, when it was just owned by Bain Capital (Mitt Romney's company), things were actually excellent. Great benefits, great work-life balance, if you needed a break you took a break. Then the Chinese money came in and all of a sudden everything went to shit.
