Sorry to hear this, Simon. I can't remember a time in my life when I've known more bright, talented, experienced people who've lost their jobs. Knowing it's happening on both sides of the Atlantic is no comfort at all.
I have to echo Jez here. The layoffs in high tech have been frighteningly stunning. There's a reason I'm happy to be in sales right now.
What bugs me more about all of this is that the current political climate is going to make things far worse before they get better. I do wonder how many geeks need to get fired before they'll stop voting for the GOP here in the States.
