That makes me tremble with rage on their behalf. I've been through 3 lay-offs. It seems like some companies will time the lay-offs so as to have the maximum negative impact on the employees' lives. Laid off right in the middle of the holidays? I'm not surprised. I worked with a man who got laid off the week before his first child was due to be born. At the same company, a woman undergoing breast cancer treatment was laid off and lost her insurance, ending her treatment (I don't know if she died). One former boss frequently picked birthdays and anniversaries for lay offs.
