It had been rumored for awhile, but it seems it is finally going down today. On one side it must be hard to go thru a month knowing that this is going to happen. On the flip side, it gives you time to get your ducks in order.
What is sad/interesting…You can tell who is getting laid off or who is afraid of it, by the spike in LinkedIn recommendations. I wonder what is the increase in usage of sites like LinkedIn during times of economic crisis. I think it could be used as a barometer for peoples mindsets around job security.
In anycase best of luck to the people who are on the outs today..
