Happy first full week of work after the holidays - to everyone still on the grind.
It's layoff week at my company. I have mixed feelings in that I'm far enough along that I wouldn't hate a funemployment break, but given I'm not quite at my number yet and the state of the tech market, I'd really hate to start burning through my savings. I just want to know which way the dice rolls for me because it's really hard to make plans for this next year when it's 50/50 if I'll have a job this year.
Update:
Both my spouse and I were informed we are safe (we work for the same company). At least I don't have to worry about our income being impacted.
Two of the people I work closest with have told me they were cut. I'm hoping there aren't any more close to me, because I already don't know how we are going to manage without those two people.
