Well, at least it's out in the open

So, finally, three weeks after we boss-like types got to know about it the board announced to the entire company that people are going to be fired. The Operations division is to be shrunk to half of what it is today. And we're not going to be creative with the employment security laws, so we'll get to lose a few good people and keep some people who occupy space and waste perfectly good oxygen. On the not-so-bad side, they're not doing the traditional "fire all technicians and keep the salescritters" thing, but cutting equally across the board.

Verdict so far: Dilbert still dominant, but both Kafka and Catch-22 are ascendant.

I hope you keep your job!

Also, are they fired, or laid off? Here fired means terminated for a bad reason, laid off means terminated for no fault of your own, e.g. pink slip.

Ouch. Good thing you are keeping your job. But laying people off is never a good thing.
