On this subject, one of our clients is placing this ad in the New York Times and Philadelphia Inquirer this week:
"I have listened to the executives of many companies say that they are eliminating thousands of jobs to “improve the bottom line.”
I own stock in many of these companies and would prefer that the company make a smaller profit and the stock fall, in the short term, rather than affect the lives of our neighbors and their families as jobs are lost.
Please join me in reminding all CEOs that we are not just dealing with numbers and profit, but with real people and real families who need to keep their jobs.
Please keep your employees working.
Steven H. Korman
CEO and Chairman of the Board

Another one bites the dust!
Just got handed my walking papers after 3 years of service.
Nothing personal, company is very slow and 5 others got let go today too. Not sure what to do with myself so I checked out the NSFW thread for the first time ever. I wish I hadn't done that, you guys are sick!- That sucks all the best on your job search.canuck

D_Dot, that is an interesting observation. I'm not really panicking, I just see this as an opportunity to go home and collect myself. Furthermore, being in the sun will help boost my spirits because Chicago's weather has definitely broken them. I am aware that UX jobs in Arizona are scarce, but I can't help wanting to go home.

studderine:
I was in the same boat you are in a few years back. I had just been laid off and wondered if I should move back home to a steady job and my friends and family... well I did it and now I view it as the single biggest mistake of my life. I panicked and now I'm paying for it. Stick it out for a while or move to a new location you've been wondering about, but don't give up just yet.- i don't want to stay in cold ass chicago! hahastudderine

the questions presents itself: stay in cold ass chicago and get the same type of job or move back home to AZ and get a shitty job but enjoy the sun?!

Keep in mind that even though jobs may be scarce NT is the best of the best! I'm sure you guys have a leg up on the other jokers out there;-)

I am so sorry to hear that. I have been through it myself, landed on my feet the times it happened. Stay positive, something will come through. Good luck!
