Guess I'm in first, LOL. Laid off a few hours ago. Got a small (REAL small) severance. And I'm in my late 40's so likely to never get another job making the same money again. My hope is to not get unemployment. If I decide to, my (previous) employer said to let them know the day I file so they can go approve it ASAP. They could wait 10 days to do so by law so YAY me. So I guess they are sort of being nice about it. Obviously management decided to not take a pay cut across the board in favor of taking out a few completely. There were several others let go.
We are in a pretty good position and were living well below our means with no consumer debt and have a good size emergency fund and at least as of today, she still has her position so we can make our bills. I updated my resume and reached to several contacts and have a couple things that hopefully lead somewhere. Sigh.....
