Having lived through multiple layoffs and my DH did one stint, it's not fun but it's okay. In the US (we both work tech), they never fire on a Friday. Why? You can't file unemployment that day or the next so you're pissed over the weekend. They try to usually lay off wednesday or thursday. I have a friend whose badge didn't open the door when he tried to get in. Classy! Jerks. That as they say is life. Hope you get a nice severance. My DH in December of 2007 was given his serverance package if the company was bought. It wasn't, but it was the "poison pill" that the company had put in place in case of a hostile takeover. They would have to give all employees a very generous severance package. Cheers! Have you filed for unemployment?
