Battling out in this "supposed" anonymous forum is a pointless activity ... please save yourself from next recession.

Contractors and part time employees will be cut first, because they are the cheapest to let go (and the least likely to litigate). After that there will be severance packages and voluntary separations, aimed primarily at those people that the company’d like to at least keep goodwill with (potentially to rehire them when the economy improves). The severance package phase is usually short (and in general is a good deal if you can get it) as subsequent cuts usually will be involuntary and uncompensated.
