bad luck but keep yer chin up. redundancies will be affecting more and more people in the near future unfortunately

beware those 'new strategy' meetings, they usually mean cost cutting and redundancies.

Sisyphus

AeginaAnother famous soul condemned to the prison of Tartarus was Sisyphus, who prior to his imprisonment was a King of Corinth. It seems that Aegina, the daughter of the river god Asopus was carried off by none other than Zeus himself. When the angry father came to Corinth to search for her, Sisyphus promised to tell all he knew if only the god would bless his city with a perennial spring. Asopus agreed and created a beautiful spring behind the temple of Aphrodite. Sisyphus kept his word and told the river god that it was Zeus who was responsible for the kidnapping of his daughter. As punishment for divulging the god's secret, Zeus sentenced Sisyphus to be imprisioned forever in the pit of Tartarus.

Because he was blessed with an excessively cunning mind, Sisyphus gave Hades a run for his money. He tricked the Lord of the Dead into trying on a pair of handcuffs, immediately locking them once they were around the god's wrists. Sisyphus kept Hades a prisoner in his home for days, during which time no one was permitted to die regardless of the sererity of their wounds. It was Ares that finally intervened, freeing Hades and delivering his captor to Tartarus.

Punishment of SisyphusDetermined to evade his sentence, Sisyphus soon divised another plan. Before actually descending into the abyss, he left instructions for his wife Merope not to bury him. When finally entering the realm of the dead, Sisyphus at once marched before Queen Persephone announcing that there had been a mistake. He continued by saying that as an unburied person he had no business being there, but instead should have been left upon the banks of the River Styx. He declared that he should be allowed to return to the upper world and avenge this disgrace before arranging for a proper burial.

He sincerely promised Persephone that he would return to Hades in three days. Believing this to be the truth, the Queen of the Dead granted his request, but in reality Sisyphus had no intentions of returning. Zeus called upon Hermes, the messenger of the gods, to capture and return Sisyphus to his rightful place in Tartarus. For his punishment, Sisyphus was doomed to spend eternity trying to push an enormous boulder up the side of a steep hill. To his detriment each time before reaching the top the boulder would roll backwards and Sisyphus would have to start all over again.
