Careers section of Flat World Software Systems taken off.There is a blank space instead of Career. Very symbolic.Scroll mouse over and pop up says “Think Flat-Recession is global”. How true.

Mr. Bench Chodd, you have been a wonderful employee with us. 10 October 2008 is your last day at work.You may settle your accounts later when we get back to you. Good luck job hunting!

Click on Career Section on Data Consultancy Services‘ website and dang!

SweetYam has a Career section that says, Shhh.. do not disturb, we are firing.
