I am on this site since December 2014 when I got laid off, they have a link to most recent posts on the home page. QC's board is busy but many oil companies used to be much more busy as they were cutting people in Jan - June timeframe. The economy is doing really good and layoffs are at all time low, so I would really not expect to see much activity here - yet, there is always an exception to the rule and some companies are cutting big time. If you are interested, check out boards of the companies listed below, each of them has a ton of posts in last 30 days, I'd probably say there is about 50 companies that constantly have messages, I'll list about a dozen. Companies with major 2015 Layoffs: Target, Chesapeake Energy, Conoco Oil, Chevron, Allscripts, Walmart, Verizon, Chase, Whole Foods, Halliburton, Baker Hughes, Target, Mattel, University of Phoenix, Corinthian Colleges, Bank Of America, Hewlett Packard, Follett, Shell Oil, Staples, Intel, L3, WD, AT&T, Marathon, Occidental Petroleum, QC, I am sure I missed some but you get the point...
