Well… after 2 hours of freaking out and almost having a massive anxiety attack… our dept (including myself) is safe.
I hope Micah is safe!
Announcement was posted at 6pm last night… saw it when I got in here at 7am this morning… had a dept meeting at 9am where they said we’re all safe in this engineering dept.

Happened to a friend of mine at an unrelated company. He took a substancial promotion and moved out to Cali from Buff. 6 months into the position, management re-organized the dept and basically cleaned house. Ridiculous…
I hope everyone here is ok!

My first day at work out here after relocating… they announced the last round of layoffs… that was a complete freak-out moment for me.

I’ll take this as further confirmation that we’re most likely headed for another wave of deflation. Not a good economic sign when military/medical groups are cutting jobs. But I guess when you catch a kid with a dime bag and can lock him up in a private FOR PROFIT prison he will make shit rather cheap for ya. 8/
