Did you get appropriately reimbursed?

  The quick answer is no. The funnier answer is we received an award for this particular piece of software (which is still in use and sold for phenomenal profits to this day). We were invited to go to an HP board meeting and receive the award directly from Meg. Unfortunately our entire office was shut down and we were all laid off before the reward date so that our division could save on overhead. Our division manager (who I met on the day we were laid off) accepted the award graciously.

    Funny, perhaps HFT is an industry you should consider if you wish to be generously rewarded.

      I bet if they were paying $800k they were making at least $8M.

    If there's any better example of why the business world sucks than this story, I'm yet to hear it. I hope you found something else to do that you enjoy/get paid appropriately for.
