    My resume once consisted of EB Games, RadioShack, Circuit City and Kmart. Call me the corporate reaper, the fifth job was tough.

    (I’m just not good at picking employers.)

        Funny enough all the companies I listed are still operating in some capacity, but under new owners that swooped in during the bankruptcies. EB Games is kind of an outlier, they consolidated into GameStop in the US. Kmart Aus was already independent before my time.

    I’ve legit been a manager for 3 companies that have gone out of business now. Not either of those two but one was a major internationally recognized brand. Seems pointless to post them on my résumé but I still do. Almost seems like I’m the kiss of death.

      Could you please start a job at Nestle, Microsoft, BP, Raytheon? Either would be fine, but you need to weaponize your god level incompetence for a good cause.

        Hahaha. I wish it was single handedly my incompetence that sunk these companies. I know it’s not because I never got my golden parachute.

          Golden Parachutes are for those who damage the population, not the brand.

          Silly caboose, get your head in the game & damage a way of life!
