I don't get those who don't plan to relocate but are still not looking for a new job because they are "waiting to see what's going to happen." What are you waiting for, a miracle?

"I don't get those who don't plan" ... to flush severance pay down the toilet.
Site closings and work moving to other locations isn't new. It also isn't new what the deal is if these things happen.
