What pisses me the most about getting a severance was the shit ton of taxes I still had to pay on it as part of my income. I got laid off the first of December and my severance was on 2008's income so I just got nailed with things. The amount of money I paid in taxes would have paid the bills for another four months.

Drives me nuts.
 
Sorry to hear that.

We finished a round of layoffs yesterday, and today we found out everyone left takes a 15% pay cut.

Joining the ATOT unemployed crew. At least I got a pretty nice severance package. It's kinda weird, my ex-company (Freescale Semiconductor), will have paid me more to not work (relocation, severance) than to work the 7.5 months I was there. Anyone have a job opening for an MSEE?

What fab? I'm at CHD-FAB and we lost a few over here. A couple were a surprise for sure!

I was at the Tempe site, but not in the fab. I was in the engineering rotation program, started last July. I had done rotations in the RF Division and Sensors (automotive radar). They cut the whole rotation program, despite is 40? year history. If you couldn't get immediate placement in one of your past groups, you got cut. That was 10 out of the 11 of us (none of the groups had open recs).

Oooh, laid off. Never mind.

You said it only because you wanted to lol. It's not like you didn't notice 'laid off' from the beginning. At least fake an edit or something. 😛

Like so.

For all you know, maybe I AM a detective!

My preliminary analysis reveals that you are a black man who often wears a red shirt on a white undershirt. In fact, you ALWAYS wear a red shirt on a white undershirt. You're also bald and enjoy wearing sunglasses. Lastly, you've also had a Botox injection because you have a permanent smile on your face.
