Maybe a CNET pink slip will cure that cancer [Layoffs]

Translate Into:

CNETlogo.jpgA freshly laid-off CNETter tells us that management's extension of benefits to May 31 hasn't allayed the employee's health concerns. Why? Oh, just cancer.

I was one of the CNET layoffs today. I was shocked to have my position eliminated after I worked full-time while undergoing cancer treatment. Holy God, how much more committed could I be? Our benefits were extended through May 31. I hope I have a job by then, otherwise I am SCREWED.
