Pink Slip Party

WDHA & JobCircle.com Pink Slip Party!

Thrown by and for the dotcom downsized.

The Pink Slip Party is a grass-roots phenomenon that gathers together hundreds of dotcom workers and sympathizers to honor the passing of the many companies that have shut their doors or have down-sized throughout this market meltdown. The party is about solidarity and dot-commiseration and connects the pink slipped (and those who are nervous about being let go) with recruiters and HR and recruiting professionals at companies that are still hiring.

The wearing of pink is strongly encouraged. Aside from the usual imbibing, commiseration and all out insanity that every pink slip party brings, headhunters and other folks looking to recruit red hot talent also are in the house to network and recruit.

The pink slip party phenomenon has exploded in cities like Chicago, Seattle, Denver, New York and of course Silicon Valley. Our first Philly event took place on April 25th and drew almost 450 people as well as all the major Philadelphia TV stations and newspapers.
