Finance people.

right around christmas, we were using $22,00 per week in payroll.then that number got cut in subsequent weeks to 20k, 17k and then down to 15k--same amount of employees, but 7k less in budget. if the people we were letting go were young i wouldn't feel as bad, because the likelyhood that they can find something else is better than the one's who are getting terminated--they're all over 55 years old and have been with the company at least ten years.


That's so sad. I'm sorry you have to be the one who delivers the message. For us it was more of elimination of positions - you know, which ones we could "do without".
Seems to happen every few months around here.

Can't imagine being in that kind of work with that kind of role. I am sorry you have to deal with this shit. Every day I count my blessings that my job is safe.

Currently on the receiving end of this...it does suck...I always thought the invaluable people didn't get it but I guess it depends on the leadership...

Good luck and try to not be emotional, it doesn't help.
