When my previous long-term employer went TITSUP....
I got kept on by the liquidation administrators... I made more out of them in 3 weeks, than I did normally in 6 months... In addition, they willingly sold me some of the company assets - half a dozen nearly-new Dell Precision laptops (top spec) for £100 each.
Whilst I was grateful for the ludicrous low price, it also disgusted me - I'd been with the company since the start, as the IT Manager, I knew the value of all the assets, and the liquidators were selling them at 10-15% of their actual resell value, even second hand, those Dell Precision laptops were worth > £1000 each.. and this was money that was meant to settle what was due to employees and creditors!
Biting the hand that feeds IT
