It's a very sad day, I am still around but many dear friends were terminated

We were very understaffed and overworked. Critical work for the business but I was still laid off today. God knows how they will cope with the projects now.

3 of the people from my team were laid off. I had one friend I know that was laid off too. I've been told its a 20% cut across the board, mostly PM and BA as they were overstaffed significantly.

laid off today at HDQ

KRK and BLR have been affected so far, better luck in HDQ/MVD/BUE..

All contractors from Luxoft and Infolet companies will be fired. Sii people are fine (at least for now).

AS in KRK 20% reduction.

All of these layoffs remind me of an exchange from 'Office Space' between Peter Gibbons and The Two Bobs: Peter Gibbons: The thing is, Bob, it's not that I'm lazy, it's that I just don't care. Bob Porter: Don't...don't care?Office Space Quotes Peter... — read more
