Elfwreck has the "Valley attitude" identified.
There used to be a time here (Think: the old HP way
) when a company did everything possible to hang onto good employees through rough times, and gave you a "Gold Watch" when you retired.
Now days, the bottom line (and top levels) are what counts. Get them gone before a pension vests.
I've been laid-off twice with 2-weeks notice, and left 2 others on the same day, before I said something that could not be un-done
