Crappy day - more layoffs at my office
My job is safe, for now, but most of the people I work closest with are being let go. The only good news is that they are getting a minimum of 6 weeks notice and still being sent to a major conference next week where they can network and job hunt.
I feel like crap, as a group we do regular happy hours every other week and are all great people to work with. It reinforces my view that there is no future with this company and I need to put more effort into getting my certification tests done by the end of the year.

2. Thanks
At least this time I wasn't handed a list of names and time when I was supposed to whack their account access, like they did to me in Jan.

4. Argh- that stinks.
Very uncomfortable feeling, watching everybody else go and fearing for your own job.

As they say, it's time to think of a "Plan B."
