How is it done?

Do they call you and ask you to leave immediately? Are you escorted out with security? Do they give you time to pack your stuff?

Layoff might be a good thing

You know, I'm at the point where I don't even care anymore. I realized I was over-stressing before asking myself why? I work a job where they give me goals realistically impossible to achieve in allotted time. New overtime policy just made everything... — read more

Hypothetically, let’s say tomorrow comes and goes but no one gets RIF’d (here’s hoping), will you leave this site and assume it’s just here to spread FUD? Or will you go the “where there’s smoke there’s fire” route and assume the layoffs just got... — read more
