A tough week at work with my company laying off more people - including people I know. I think it's only a matter of time until I get laid off. I'm busy in the near future, but nothing in my schedule for later in the year. It's never a good sign when middle management are scheduling last minute meetings to try to keep up the morale of those of us remaining - and woefully failing. And this was all avoidable - an upper management decision to outsource most of our work, which in the long term won't save money and will only cause major headaches in terms of poor quality of work and not meeting our company's aggressive timelines. And it's not like our company needed to streamline - we're still very profitable and the share price is really high right now (and since I have loads of company shares, one reason it's not a total catastrophe if I get laid off and don't find a new job immediately). These are dark times, and I think my current mood reflects that.
