1. You should reply:

"I'll try to make sure to set aside enough gas money from my unemployment check to attend"

9. I think you should reply also.

That was, at best, grossly insensitive of them.

8. About thirty of us got laid off at the same time

Edited on Fri Mar-25-05 03:14 PM by leftofthedial

from a company with about 150 employees

They did it the same day as the weekly company sponsored employee "Friday Afternoon Club" in the lobby. The survivors were partying in the big atrium-lobby, drinking company-provided microbrews, eating pizza and having fun while the security guards escorted groups of five or six of us at a time through the lobby and out the door.

Couldn't have been worse.

That was the last decent severance package I got. Since then, three more layoffs with parting gifts ranging from two weeks pay to nada.

10. You should release a "memo"

"Save the date. Management appreciation week is in July, make sure you wear your ass-kicking boots."

It's gonna be bigger and better this year, because we just dumped an entire dept.
