Aegis

The recent news about Aegis laying off people here in Houston has hit home with us. Aegis is a company 'Pup applied to, several times. We even know someone who had worked there in the past (and we weren't sure if he still was!) and we worried about him. Turns out, he'd been there to hear a message from Aegis management that, while things were tight just then, Houston wouldn't be affected and everything would be just fine and please keep working. Sound familiar?

So now, there are a lot of people out of work, and their insurance dies at the end of this week. No Cobra. No severance. Just...nothing.

Imagine going to work in the morning, and suddenly being told that now, you don't really exist...
