As the motive for layoffs is more than clear and that's to cut cost as much as possible while trying to remain operable it’s clear that the highest paid people, which are in most cases the ones with the most experience are the ones in most danger. Why not try to beat them to the punch and try to find a job elsewhere before we’re laid off.Not saying everyone will succeed, but it’s worth a shot.

To many top performers from the legacy company s management teams were let go. The Broadview acquisition is a classic example. All the top Managers and Executives are gone. The Managers and Executives that remain are the slackers and skaters. Terrible at Customer and Channel Partner Support. A Harvard textbook example of how not to run a business.
I've seen many that came from the legacy companies that made better money laid off. We lost many good people
No kidding, what's higher pay?
Not to sound arrogant, but I'd be more concerned if I was one of the people who acts like every day was my first day on the job.
While there have been layoffs, there are still tons of anchors in many groups still dragging the productive people down.
I love dropping what I'm doing several times a day to answer common questions. Seriously if you aren't technically inclined, what are you doing in a technical group?
I'd guess that I probably make quite a bit more than the lowest paid person in my group.
I've never considered working here as just a job, and have pursued learning as much as I can and not watching the clock each day skirting the difficult tickets.
Personally I don't worry about this company and when they don't need me, I'll go somewhere else. Sure I'll miss the time off but I'm pretty sure I'll get a raise or at least break even.
What is considered high pay?
So TT is leaving - YAAAAAYYYYYYY !!!!!!!!
Worth is measured more than what you pay the employee. Redundancy, effectiveness, efficiency, then cost are how you separate the grissle from the cut and not the meat from the bone.
Note from above I didn't say experience. As experience is what benefits effectiveness and efficiency but raises cost.
