I came in to do my shift tonight and have been told that there was a massive layoff. Well, massive in terms of the percentage of employees cut. A lot of our support staff, including some very bright, dependable people, the kind that actually call us back when we page them in the middle of the night, we cut. And some people who have a lot more experience than me.
But for now, yours truly is still employed. I did not get the killer e-mail that said “PLease see the director at 9:30 A.M.” I have now survived 5 layoffs (or staff reductions) in the past 8 years. Either people think I’m OK, or I’m unnoticed.
Although, I’m still kinda expecting to hear the words “Sam, can I see you in my office…”
