For several weeks, there’s been a spooky feeling at my full-time employer [My employer], with rumored layoffs lurking just around the corner. The layoffs finally happened yesterday, and there were pretty deep cuts in my department. As recently as Monday afternoon, I didn’t know whether I was gonna keep my job or not, so I had been making preparations — bought a Kanguru removable hard drive and moved my personal files onto it, backed up my e-mail, brought my cell phone charger home. I’m still here, but it’s bittersweet — my team was let go, and they were really good at their jobs.
