In 2008 I had just quit my job with Countrywide Mortgage the previous year. Of course, it cratered. I didn't leave because of any intuitive foresight. It was because my manager was a jerk. I ended up in a small company that was breaking into web development. It was grossly mismanaged and involved long, long, long work hours. It was common to work all the way through from Friday until the following Monday morning, sleeping an hour here or there on a couch or the floor. I was stuck there for 3 years because there were no jobs to be had, but I was glad I had a job.

@adaslesniak Yes, it was depressing. I learned a lot an put myself in a position never to have to do that again. I was able to go tell my last employer to pound sand for far less :)
