		<description><![CDATA[Hi guy from Hawaii,

why are you so angry at other people who write to this list? to each his own!    People who lash out at people who dare to write their *own* opinion on a forum, don&#039;t deserve angry, self-righteous response like yours.

Can you be constructive?

I&#039;m sure that employee would love to have a rich spouse who would help them fund a start-up venture. Most people who work for start-ups have the drive and intelligence to start their own companies. Unfortunately, funding is in very short supply for most, and even the knowledge or connections...on how to get that funding. So, they hvae to either keep a day job or go work for other lucky founders of a start-up.

Yeah, Google and getting rich is cool. No problems there. Some people do good things with their riches though, and think of the larger world...or at least think ahead, have a business plan, and make sure that before they start a company, that it will last.

Think what 500,000 or a mill could do for a serious situation abroad. If i was a google billionaire i would probably open a free health care clinic in an area in need in Africa or elsewhere, staff it with doctors, etc. who want to work abroad, but need to be paid too...there are so few programs like this and they keep so many people alive...

BIG PICTURE DUDE.  Ever stop to think about it? there is life outside the &quot;tech world&quot; and the US business world.

thank god for that.

god bless you!

(and get a therapist, lol  :)]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hey Former FUZZ Employees...were you not aware when you joined FUZZ that the technology field is a make or break high risk industry with very little middle ground? Just because you did not fall into the lucky few who also took the chance to work for companies like Google (good for you CEO&#039;s wife!), Facebook, MySpace...etc., don&#039;t degrade yourself any further by trying to bash those that have the guts and HUGE b_alls to try and make a dream a reality. I&#039;m sure the CEO never did any of this with the intention of hurting people in the process. In fact, the CEO has probably devoted his blood, sweat and tears to make this a success and all with very little or no compensation...and his wife who is rich because she happened to get a job at Google...she&#039;s probably hot, smart and now RICH!!! Good for her!!! Yeah you got very little notice...how do you think these startups are funded? I&#039;m sure he would have loved to &quot;give you ample notice&quot; or pay your a severence pay...but he is using his own and his investor&#039;s money to make this work!

Rather than me explain the ABC&#039;s of how the tech world or any business works...why don&#039;t you find it within yourself to put your money where your mouth is and start your own company (since you seem to focus so much on what they did wrong) so you can see how easy it really is...then shoot me a comment back when you&#039;re rich...I&#039;ll be waiting...

I&#039;m sure you wouldn&#039;t have written any of this if FUZZ hit it big and made you a sh_tload of $$$...lies, cheated, harrassment...come on now...stop whining]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hey guys,

Dude--I&#039;m surprised too!  I know some of these emails are very harsh and pretty rude, given that people try hard and put a lot into their own companies. But that one employee raises some valid points.

In the world of start-ups, many good people are left in the dust and mistreated.

When companies like this &quot;shut down&quot;, good employees are left unemployed, without any serverance and often with little/NO notice.  Meanwhile, the CEOs are still well-off and doing fine.

Is this right?]]></description>
