	Feld Thoughts
		In the cleanest restarts, the company is recapitalized via the new investment, reducing (or eliminating) the previous liquidation preference overhang and well as the previous equity ownership.
		As part of this recap, the employees that are staying with the company will receive new options in a “refreshed” option pool that is usually between 10% and 20% of the equity of the company.
		While the company undeniably has an emotional overhang, a lot of companies address it by such simple things as changing their name and pretending the history doesn’t exist.

	NetSlaves: The FC Memorial Fund
		Phil Kaplan at Fucked Company, the favorite site of the dotcom dispossessed, has set up The FC Memorial Fund to help the relatives of the victims of the Edgewater murders.
		The problem with a site like Fucked Company is that if he gets things right 50% of the time, he'll be a hero to most people.
		Like flaming someone on a bulletin board, I guess giving companies the business is all too easy, if you don't consider that these companies are made up of human beings, with feelings and all the rest of it.

		Outlook Marketing's Jeff Rappaport admits that using a bigger company like Nordstrom is "a key strategy" to getting its dot-com client in the news, even if Intentia is not the main focus of the story.
		All three tactics used by the P.R. industry--dropping the dot-com from companies' names, erasing the phrase altogether, and associating them with successful businesses--are intended to convince the media and the public to forget about dot-coms as we once knew them.

		I was getting the old run around from the company about getting the damn server back up, then they finally tell me (24 hours later) that the main drive needs to be replaced.
		Now i havent been very happy with the company since day one, so I tell them to give me a refund and cancel the server because the it has not worked since they billed me. By then it is night time on the 12th and waytoomany.com has been down for 36 hours, im pissed.

	Popular Narrative
		A full company downfall is worth 100 points, where a round of layoffs or managerial reconstruction might bring it closer to 10 or 15 points.
		On a larger scale, however, the site seems devoted to coddling the victims of these fucked companies' downsizings and belly-ups, providing a forum for those twentysomething hipsters to lick their wounds and wax bitter about the state of e-business in general.
		In addition to the fuck archive and happy fun slander corner, there is an entirely separate messageboard devoted to more pedestrian topics like the most annoying commercial on tv and random swearing.

		Today, the very same employee who joined a company in 1999 because of its investments in talent is learning that allegiance takes a backseat to profits during a downturn and that loyalty does not necessarily produce a return on investment.
		The message boards on Fucked Company and WetFeet.com support the theory that bitter employees are outspoken employees and that smart companies practice compassionate layoffs.
		If your company is remaining tight-lipped about profits and strategies, surf Web sites like Fucked Company and WetFeet.com for the inside scoop on your employer, Luban advises.

		Kaplan, 24, is clearly in the latter camp--in fact, he says that he hopes all the attention Fucked Company has been getting will be good PR for PK Interactive, the web shop that he runs.
		Recently, when ABPNews.com laid off all its employees and 70 percent of them volunteered to work for free while the company searched for funding, many in the media treated the story as an inspirational tale of loyalty and camaraderie.

	Meet the man behind FuckedCompany
		But tomorrow did come, in the dot.com crash of last year, and as those voices went suddenly silent, a new voice arose to record the death whines of the dot.coms that had drawn in millions upon millions of investor funds.
		When I came up with the idea for Fucked Company--and also when I came up with the idea for PK Interactive, my consulting company--I was working for a big web shop.
		While this puts you in a pretty good position to criticize pie-in-the-sky dot.com schemes, has it changed your standards as to what makes a company "fucked?" For example, your site and your readers seem to treat layoffs as a terminal symptom.

		It’s hard for me to get up much sympathy for either the company or its bete noir, investor Bruce Sherman, who caused the company’s sale, or its purchasers — none of whom, I think, is really tackling the fundamental change that is called for today.
		So if we stop looking at this as if it were the border between two worlds but instead one world operating under change, then we would find the ways for old to work with new, big with small, professional with amateur.
		That may mean new companies acting as the laboratories and development arms for old ones.

		Dotcoms continue to fail at such a rate that Fucked Company has become one of the top go-to sites for daily browsing.
		And a lot of that was helped by the venture capitalists and investment banks, creating this ironclad relationship where the venture capitalists would bring in a company, the banks would promise great coverage and support, take them public, pump the stock–then the VCs would move on and individuals were left holding the bag...
		By the end of 2000, as dotcoms and other tech companies continued to die or at least trim expenses, the ocean of ads they used to pour into the print tech magazines turned into a drought.
