Sorry to hear - it is going around. Just had a local friend get laid off too.
mitt
Sorry to hear! Where are you & what industry?
:'(
I hope you land on your feet, good luck.
Sorry to hear that man,
I just found out I have about a month left before I get canned too.
I'm in IT, mainly tech support. I'll be ok in the end... I'll either go back to school or go to Microsoft!
I think......
Where are you located? My wife is in IT staffing and has a good amount of requirements....pm me if youd like.
Sorry to hear.
I'm in Seattle...

Hopefully you can just move over to Redmond!
There's always Australia! I know you were looking to move down there awhile back. They need IT people and so does NZ!! THis might be the time to make the move! [thumbsup]
Mmmmm... Australia...
Really sorry to hear that Optiato. All my family and friends are in Michigan and they're being let go left and right or are dealing with the repercussions from others being let go. I just sent my pregnant sister money today. She's working 3 part time jobs (real estate is/was her primary source of income) and her husband's hours were drastically cut. Their finances are not bad but not ok either. She's not going to be happy getting the money (pride) but I can tell her it's for my 3 yr. old nephew and the soon to be newbie.
Hang in there and be more resourceful than the next guy! Sell what you need to sell. It will get better.
Sorry to hear that. Good Luck with finding another job.

Sorry, we're full. ;D
[laugh]
Sorry to hear the bad news, keep your head up [thumbsup]
Don`t even consider coming to South Africa [evil]
Sorry to hear of the bad news. I was laid off 4 months ago when the small company I was working for ran out of money. Good luck to all of us "consultants".
Sorry to hear, hopefully you can find something near you or worst case scenario relocate.
My wife's job dried up and blew away about 2 months ago, thankfully I make enough to see us through.
Knock on wood, I look to be safe for the foreseeable future.
sorry about the lay off :(
hope you find a source for income soon!
Sorry to hear. Seems to be spreading - hadn't been many layoffs down here in Louisiana due to oil, but now seems to be starting. Good luck finding something else.
Sorry to hear Opatio. Might be a good time to try out another country or make a career change. I work in Utah and actually train our company's tech support dept (wages are pretty low here in utah, but so is cost of living). Our company is very stable and growing, but I realize a lot of others aren't.
