Holiday Layoffs

My company started downsizing employees yesterday. I work for a large telecommunications company. During our weekly team meeting this morning, my manager said that she couldn't comment on whether our group would be affected. However, she said that all affected employees would be notified by next Friday, December 23. Luckily, I have an emergency fund established. I hope I won't have to use it. Stay tuned to see if I receive a pink slip.
