Well, here's a disturbing twist on mass layoffs. Let's hope it doesn't start a trend: EMC lays off hundreds of workers news.cnet.com While the article doesn't go into detail, reading between the lines is pretty disturbing. It looks like perhaps they are trying to get around the "mass layoff" law by claiming that this is just part of regular job reviews. A company has to give 2 months notice to employees who are being layed-off, or else pay 2 months severence pay in lieu of that. (I thought that this was just a California law, but somebody else here said that they thought that this is a federal law.) Now, I'm a contracter, so this doesn't affect me - nobody owns me nuthin' if they decide they don't want me any more. But I still find this REALLY disturbing...
