The Laid-Off Lament

Via our colleagues at AgencySpy, the tale of a very strange layoff from R/GA. A copywriter there tells his side of the saga at the domain name he bought—ReallyGiantAssholes.com. Hmm. Those letters form a real familiar-looking acronym. We see what you did there.

I was offered a column in the weekly company-wide, internal newsletter. The column was a collection of the wackiest, weirdest stuff I could find on the Internet. I would even get links from people at R/GA — the head of my department even sent me links — to some pretty crazy crap.
