    I Survived.......

    I survived the lay offs today at work but I was sweating bullets. It was heart wrenching to watch.

    Sucks but at least you survived. If I were you... I'd get my resume out there. Never a good sign when layoffs happen.

    Being in the IT field I used to get laid off a lot. You almost came to view it as contract work. A a couple of those layoffs were good for me, most likely because I was still young. Today I'd have a hard time.

    Water Monkey is right. If the company you work for is laying people off and you were worried, you still should be worried. I don't know if the industry you work in is dying or if the business is mismanaged but it's time to start thinking next step.

    Dust off that resume and keep your linkedin profile current. Good luck.
