I hadn't thought about it that way, but it was January of 1999 that I was let go.

I co-worker at my office was "let go" recently. I would say that getting laid off was a positive thin for 60-80% of my co-workers that got tanked. I hope your friend lands on his/her feet...

Me too. I think losing this job wasn'tthe worst thing, but it came at an awkward time for him. He's been wanting to move out of the city, but he's stuck in a lease. So he'll have to find work before his lease is up, but then he'll have a job in town.

I know your pain.

we lost about half the company due to downsizing from mid-2001 through the start of 2004. About 1200 employees all told. Some.. are still looking for work.

They axed one person from each department. They did that in 1999 too.

That really sucks. It happend to me when I was working in publishing. Everyone became paranoid that they would be next.

Meanwhile, I wish they would downsize me here. That's not going to happen. ugh.
