Aw snap. I had no idea. Just back from a trip abroad and behind on my feed-reading, so I completely missed this.

I’m sorry Joey – this sucketh mightily, for both you and Jeremy and gang. It’s heartening to see the two of you displaying so much grace and professionalism over this, yet there’s still no way to unsuck it.

If you don’t mind, I’m going to ping a few people and see if I might be able to stir anything up. A real longshot, but you never know…

Very sorry to hear this, Joey. I’ve been away on holidays and just found out. I know you’ll land on your feet again, and I can see that all the previous commenters agree with me.

[...] My sudden surplus of free time has given me some time to do some thing I’d been meaning to do but never got around to doing. One of those things is doing a little decluttering, and as a result, I have a number of computers that I don’t need anymore. [...]

Oh man… I was so looking forward to more accordion around the campfire at SXSW next year.

Best of luck to you, Joey!! You will be missed!

Joey, that’s tough new to hear. Great meeting you earlier this year in person and hanging out. As the previous commenter said, you handled tough news with class and professionalism on the blog. Exactly what matches how everyone knows you in the real world too. Best of luck. Look forward to seeing where you end up.

I’m hoping that wherever Joey ends up needs an Oracle dude so that I can jump ship and work with him.

Gooey, once again you show nothing but class and grace in what, for most, would be a very disheartening situation. I’m sure the toughest decision you’ll have to make is which of the many inevitable job offers you’ll accept!

Cheers!

I’d just like to repeat what everyone knows: Joey is an awesome employee. From an attitude standpoint, an experience standpoint and a cultural standpoint he’s fantastic and I’d be happy to recommend him in the future!

(hell, if he’ll have me I’d love to work with him in the future!)
