The good news is, we were too big for the buyers to absorb us overnight, and I still have a job. They deal was closed last Wednesday, and a half hour later, they started walking people out the door. Half my office is gone, and most all of our south Carolina office is gone as well, SC will soon to be eliminated as soon as everything is cross trained. Almost every position of remote power has been eliminated from our company. We also have massive gaps in our infrastructure from layoffs. Most of us are just doing daily tasks while trying to get a grip with what is expected of us. Our stores are doing the same.

My first real job out of college was working at Old Country Buffet corporate office. That was before they moved to the Eagan location. I didn't realize they were owned by Ovation as well? At that time we would get 4 free passes to OCB every payroll (2 weeks).

Hope everything works out for you.

Are you serious? When they were in Eden Prairie? We only changed our name. What department? Crazy small world.

Accounting. I started as a restauran accountant, and then moved on to a staff accountant. Was there for 5 years or so. You were there in Eden Prairie? I worked for Kathy Schmieg as a staff accountant. I remember a lot of people from there. Still have some friends.

Kathi is still here, and probably only because she knows everything accounting related like the back of her hand. She is too valuable. Jim Bisek is a survivor as well. Ron Johnson and Linda Raw just got let go, I am guessing you remember them.

I come from the payroll dept. When I started, the company had grown quite a bit in size before things got hard. The people here are good, I hate seeing this all happen.

So, can you bounce some gift cards off a truck while the getting is still good?
