Yet there are only five days left. Any ideas? Am I sc--wed? Has anyone hacked into the Workstyle database?

It never stops at one group. Anyone know if more cuts are coming for the rest of us?

Group RIF'd today. 8-12 people over 3 shifts.

Sounds like years in the making. What does this mean in terms of greater company structure? Spinoff? Reorg? More jobs offshored?

This org structure and function is not sustainable. Layoffs inboard.
