I got the bad news this past Monday that I would be laid off for a while. I kind of saw it coming, things were slowing way down once we got a project finished and shipped, but I felt that I was a hard worker and would avoid it at least for a while. On the bright side, they told me that they would call me back once things picked up again in a couple of months (the company has a line on some work, but the customer hasn't given the go ahead to start). I am in the automotive supplier business but we've been getting hit hard since the Big Three have been sending a lot of our jobs overseas to get it done cheaper.
