    I have been absent a couple of days.... licking my wounds.

    There were rumors at work that layoffs would occur in Jan. Well a couple days ago, they started pulling employees in 1 by 1 and laying of the selected few. At 4:30 pm, I got my call. :-(

    It could have been worse. I am on "administrative leave" unti Jan and then will get a 10 week severence check on Jan 9. In March, I will still get my bonus.

    I am a mainframe developer. Pray for me. I don't want to uproot the kids again. My oldest is a senior in HS.

    regardless of what anyone tells you, get registered to collect your unemployment. You can't collect unemployment while you are still on the payroll, so make sure you are not considered on the "payroll" if you are on admin leave.

    I received a severance package 4 months ago and was allowed by law to collect unemployment as well. Its the only thing that kept my head above water for 4 months. Just be glad and pray that you receive your severance. Many people were not as lucky when they were laid off..........

    Also, as much as I said I would NEVER allow myself to fall to "Food Stamp" status, I finally gave in when my severance ran out, as my 3 kids were more important than my pride!.

    You can receive foodstamps if you have no job (even with a severance and collecting unemployment) and less than $3,000 in the bank. Check the laws in your state.

    Good Luck, I was there 4 months ago and ended up taking a $28,000 pay cut.
