Dawm, wonder how long this is going to last, but my company recently cut another 150 and this is the second layoff within this year.
All these years I worked, this is the worst I've seen...even a local BMW dealership layoff some ppl. They freakin cut the guy that does the trash..WTF!!!

Anyone worried?

wedding coming up and mortgage to pay...this economy worries me

[Jammin Jason]

hmm if youre worried maybe it would be wise to put off the wedding another day and save that money to pay your bills (unless the weddings is official like date set, invitations sent and etc). if not you can have a court wedding. thats what my cousin did, saved a grip of money and they're put off their church wedding for later in the future, maybe in a couple years or so.

hope i'd help

No shit. We've had people in this area get to work, and find a box of their stuff set outside. Good Luck.

the next 2 years will be rough.

Wow. My company just does it dirty if you're being fired. This one guy came back from vacation, sitting in his cube....two security officers come in and escort him out. He is able to get his stuff two weeks later.

I'm not gonna to cut my budget...just hang on and see what happens tomorrow

if I do get layoff.....I guess I'll have to collect unemployment

ska325xi, what do you do for a living? Maybe you should sell your 325xi so you can use it for your wedding fund.

before or after you threw your shoes at him?

According to what I read the other day on MSN news, Education, healthcare, and Accounting industries are healthy and thriving. I would also guess that the energy companies are healthy as well.

[ska///235i]

I'm in the Financial field, it's not that I don't have money at the moment...
its that I'm about to built a family and if I do loose my job..its gonna suck

plus I don't think its easy to get a new job nowadays

after lol

[nightkhan]

i was out sick for 2 days, came back and found out half the team over at Goldman Sachs that I work with were gone.

[addy85]

ya layoffs are scary nowadays, hope this shit is over with quickly!

[!Xoible]

every time i got laid off i got a much better job, unemployment $$, and a few weeks of relaxing vacation!

the problem is i really like this company, i only started working here like 10 weeks ago or so... i dont wanna get laid off from it yet hahah

[SteveMondragon]

That sucks everyone is feeling the pressure. For me, we've been the complete opposite. Our firm has been hiring new staff and laterals left & right (just brought in 4 last week), and working on acquiring a couple of other smaller law firms here real soon. It's actually been an extremely busy year for us.

well, that's one way to look at it...always being the optimist...in the meantime, update your resume and brush up on your interview skills..

[nmulax]

We've had cuts twice this year. My boss was actually in the first group - the owner of our company decided there was overlap with some of the management, and my boss wasn't the easiest guy to get along with.

Keeping my fingers crossed, but I think I should be safe. I'm the 2nd most senior designer here, so one guy above me and three below. And thankfully we've been staying busy.

[Bobby_Light]

It has only begun. Prepare.
