I survived round one.....

Tuesday morning at work my team lead and I noticed that the production manager was taking people to the front and they were not comimg back. Needless to say when you have been there as long as I have you know exactly what is going on. The tension in the air gets thicker with each person taken to the front and not returning. Finaly at 1PM a department meeting is called, my team lead and I look at each other and say "lay offs are over". The meeting consists of a breif statemant of what and why. Management was hopping that by more extensively using the work share program we could avoid any lay offs, but that didn't help as much as hoped. 15% company wide lay off. They said they went a rather deep with the cuts as to hopefuly avoid haveing to to this again.
