Dot Com Employee Questionnaire Excerpt, June 2000
25 Aug, 2006
I just came across this little souvenir from the height of the Dot Com boom, when I spent half a year working for the ill-fated Stan Lee Media. I do wonder who (if anybody) ever actually read these things once they were returned to HR:
Question
6. Suggestions you have regarding the better accomplishment of your tasks
Answer
Squnkwurx (that was what they called the web department) *needs to be granted more authority than it currently has in matters of design.

Stan Lee Media Break Room
Until I find the original, the date is an approximation.
This was about three months or so before everyone in the company was laid off thanks to the fiduciary malfeasance of Stan's cofounder and one of the VPs.
Many thanks to Ryan for giving me back a copy of my own photo, for I am too lazy to dig through my own archives for it.
