I haven't been on LJ in forever. I will have plenty of time to catch up...because my entire department at work has been downsized. We are still working this week and maybe part of next week. Because our positions were eliminated, by law they have to give us 60 days notice, so I am an active employee (with pay and benefits) until the end of September. Then I have a 3 month severance kick in, so I don't have to panic...at least not right away.
Even so...it feels like a kick in the stomach. Not to mention, we get news like that and then are expected to come back in for two weeks to help 'transition'. There is no way around it, I have to play nice or risk jeopardizing my severance package.
