Damn its been a hell of a week for me at work. First we have this DST issue going on so, we all have to scramble and make sure our systems are ready. Now we have this layoff sneak up on us and so me and my partner had to remote access and terminate 60 people before they knew what hit them. Most were sales, but some were IT and one was in our Telecom group. I wasn't too familiar, but my partner knew and had worked with them all for years.

One of the ladies upstairs in accounting who got let go was pregnant and was about to go on maternity leave, its kinda sad. The HR manager whose office is right in front of me has had people going in and out this morning - her boss got let go too. I've been laid off before and it sucks, but I haven't been so personally involved like this where I have to kill someones access and leave their blackberries useless when some of them are out on the road. I think I'm going to take a longer lunch or something.

Any of you been laid off or had to do the chopping?
