Fortune magazine came out yesterday with an updated list of top 100 places to work. Illinois has two companies on the list. I have a friend who works at one of these companies and so I emailed her the link to get a reaction. She writes back:

“our CEO left an enthusiastic voice mail to all of us yesterday to tell us the great news about what a good company _________ is to work for. I rolled my eyes when I heard that. I thought if things are bad here, how horrible can they be at other companies? I should shoot myself now!”

Yikes!
