Well, now we know for certain that the holidays are over… my company laid off about 10% of its workforce. I wasn’t laid off- but 2 of the people with whom I worked closely were.  It’s surprising how ‘survivors guilt’ effects the people who are not laid off (it’s a pretty well documented phenomenon in the labor force). Thankfully, my company doesn’t believe in the million bites of the apple theory of staff reduction, so there is only expected to be this round. 

It is my feverent hope that the economy improves over the next year- I don’t think that many companies can really survive a more protracted downturn.
