Another layoff at the big X today, and I'm still here. One dude I talk to a lot who's an avid road rider got the axe though. Bummer for him :(

I hate to hear that. Not that you didn't get it, but that anyone did. Maybe you should go work for Konica. :think:

That is horrible for morale. When I was in public accounting we went through a round of layoffs every quarter. There is was like winning the lottery though. WOOHOO, please let it be me!

Glad you made the cut.

I'm expecting to see some layoffs here soon. Parking lot has gotten full again. In the past I always felt layoff proof, but I started in a new position in January and haven't been given one thing to do since. I just been doing my best to help out the co-workers to find things to do.

Congrats. I didn't know X was planning more layoffs. I just talked to a Kodak guy this weekend that said they are having another round in a couple weeks.

As far as I know Konica doesn't have the majority of its engineering and manufacturing in Rochester.
I only know 3 copier companies, so I felt obligated to chime in with Konica. I am really just trying to interject a little humor into what has to be a bad day. You could always move to Austin to work, though. :thumb:

Dang, glad you didn't get hosed. Those places are dropping people left and right, soon Kodak is going to have like 8 employees 3 of which are chimpanzees.

As long as Xerox keeps monkeys, echo is ok.
