clavus and Psycho Dad. This late in the year, I don't understand why companies will not wait until after the holidays to drop the bad news on people. It's only 2 weeks away. Is it so important to clear the books before the end of the year? Why no flexibility? I don't mean to single out you two. In 30+ years of working I've seen these late year firings several times and am surprised at the insensitivity of the companies involved.

To answer your question, I was once fired (laid off) while on vacation. I called in for my messages and was given the bad news. I was in a large group of people who were being let go do to new management's downsizing.
