Might get laid off tonight

I work night shift at Intel as an equipment technician where I fix, maintain, and operate the semiconductor equipment that makes the Intel CPU's in your computer. They're doing some big layoffs here at the New Mexico site and this is one of the final phases. About 1500 people will lose their job when all is said and done here out of about 3500 people that were here before the layoffs. In about an hour they will start calling us one by one to let us know if we got "placed" or not. Wish me luck!

Best of luck.

I got laid off back in June. Almost 10 years with the company too. On the plus side, I got a sweet severance package. Still haven't looked for a new job.

Good luck mate.

Thats a long walk, although if you've been there a while you'll get a big redundancy package Im sure which will tie you over while you look for more work. Plus, the reference they give you will be fine as you were fired as such.

Good Luck man....

if you do get laid off enjoy your unemployment check for a while and then get back out there, sounds like you are a smart dude you will do fine.

3. You will leave work Tuesday happy that you are employed.

Honestly I think a lot of the time the "steadiness" of just having a job makes us complacent. If we all actively searched for a job while currently employed, I think we'd be surprised at the opportunities out there.
