My wife survived the latest round of layoffs! Hopefully we won't have to deal with another RIF until 2010...
On a sad note lots of good people (many more than we expected) lost their job today. Really a crummy time to lose your job.
That's good news. I associate the term RIF with gov't employment. Spouse was an overqualified and underpaid new hire in '04 and her agency initiated the RIF process a few months after she started. Considering the 'security' aspect being one of the benefits of gov't employment, I was surprised at the psycho-terror techniques.....they ran trial RIFs to 'scare' folks into taking the buyout (e.g. "If this RIF Notice was real....you would be canned!"). DW was safe since she was underpaid.
