We think you have at least a 75% chance of surviving this round of cuts, and even higher if you work in the Woodlands. The glass is more than half full. And nobody is dying here.
Of course those of you who leave are cutting dumped into a really shitty job market. You may very well burn through your severance before you find another job. COBRAs are really f---ing expensive. The stress and anxiety will hurt your marriage and your children. And might kill you or at least shorten your life. You might have to move to another state and start over. But you can find some consolation in the fact that the Anadarko Insiders (40 under 40 up n comers) are well protected and well paid.
