Reading some of these posts and listening to hallway conversations. A lot of people need to relax. There are way too many new hirers coming in. Just chill people and drink a Pepsi.

Please chime in - how does the actual act of communicating that you've been laid off happen? Do they call you in a conference room? Who is there? What do they tell you? How long does it take. I am a fairly anxious person and knowing things in advance... — read more 

Keep it up! Some of your sh-- is hilarious. I personally like this one... "The cotton fields have been swapped to fields of drone keyboard clickers on large dual screens." Lol, Pepsico to a motherfuckin T!!
