aw, i'm sorry you read my blog and got all worried about layoffs!
keep in mind, rumors are always rampant at our job. also, you're one of the best people they have in QA. if anything, they'll cut costs by getting rid of some leads.
sh*t, now i need to go worry!
Everybody relax.
Mojito, you're on vacation, that means it's against the rules of vacationism to think about work. Just relax, enjoy the time away, and enjoy your family.
Layoffs are an ugly animal, it's like firing but they don't have to have a legitimate reason behind it. You can do the bestest job in the world and never screw up anything, and still get laid off. So, my point is, worrying about it gets you nowhere. All that worry does is cause us physical stress. It doesn't protect us from bad things, it actually makes us susceptible to other potential bad things.
Ok, I'll stop lecturing, everybody go have fun and don't worry, be happy :)
Well, I always get a bit worked up when it comes to talk about layoffs. I've been through all that kind of crap before where I didn't know if I'd be employed from one day to the next. Oh well...I'm gonna have to not think about it like Copax said and immerse myself in southern charm, Sonic drive-ins, Yuengling by the gallon and tasty waves :)
Yeah, I hear ya. where I'm at could close the doors within 3 months, maybe sooner, maybe longer.
But like I said, is worrying about it going to change it? if there's something we can actively do about the situation, then that's fine. but we can't protect against everything.
and you're on vacation too. so go vacation :)
