20% a blood bath? My company has laid off over 60% (over 5,000 people) over the past 4 years with more to come this month. I can't wait to get out after I get my MS this Spring, or I will know by next month if I am getting the ax.

Life it to short, get out there and drive

Yeah, it's a "discussion" forum, but it should be geared towards the "Event" and not towards putting wheels on your car.

Thanks
Yea, downsizing sucks big time, I went through it at my last job as well and left there. Maybe I should become a NYC detective, I can hang out all day or night, eat doughnuts, surf the net, type in bold, until someone figures out how to outsource law enforcement to India.

Yes, I agree there is a lot of good that comes out of most comraderie type of forums, and this is no exception. Most of the attitudes, however, usually get left at the door when people meet.

I agree completely with you Thomas........attitudes and coats get checked at the door. Bring in your sense of humor....unless of course you lack a sense of humor(stephent., and most Mods). If you break easy....then sit back and watch!!!!!!!!

There's been a lot of needless posts in the NE Section the last month or so. This post would be more suited for the Wheels & Tires forum. Please make note. If it's not event related, let's try to follow the protocol.
