Tomorrow is the day when I find out if I still have a job. Having gone through a "voluntary" round of job reductions, my company now has determined that they need to take that next step - and we've all been waiting about a month and a half for this day of gloom.
Even if stay on, many others will have their employment involuntarily terminated - it's going to be awful.

Ugh.
May the force be with you.
Thanks, man. Tomorrow night may be a night of relief or a night of anxiety (and relief?). But it will be a freaky morgue here for the next few weeks, in any event - since the to-be-terminated employees are being asked to stay for a month, if possible.
Day of the Living Dead realized!
The horror is too much. I hope that only greatness follows whatever happens to you and the others.
If it's worth anything, I am sharing in this dread (or possible relief) in some way by following what you write.
Ooof. Nothing makes me want to work harder than a shiv in the back.
Man, the more I think about it the worse that time will be. At least the last batch volunteered - now you've got people being laid off...a month from now. That is shitty for everyone.
I suppose it helps extend your income out an extra month, but still.
I suspect mines will be laid, of various sorts.
Stephen - thanks.
Pat - worth considering, though, that our severence, if it comes to that, is about the best in the biz. For people in my position, I would get 6 months pay (after that month) in a lump check (plus vacation pay), and 12 months of full benefits. So that would/will take some of the edge off. That said, if we had wanted to take our chances out there, we would have taken the voluntary buyout...
crappy corporate "striving to do what's right," but for a very select few scoundrels
good luck
don't let the bastards drive you down
I'll be thinking of you
