Yes, I am concerned about my job. They have announced that they are moving a portion of manufacturing to Mexico and Poland. When it comes time for "involuntary separations" (they don't like to call it layoffs), I only hope they decide to use job skills rather than seniority as criteria for deciding who has to go.

At least around here the layoffs have been toward least productive (like it should be) instead of seniority. Know 2 companies in unrelated skills that are downsizeing in that direction.
A few companies have started voluntary seperations this week.

A layoff might be fun. Guess that's what happens when oil hits $30/barrel. I'll go fishing and hope the money I have saved stays worth enough to support me for a few years.

I work in the pharmaceutical industry.....lately they call layoffs at my company "ATS" or Adapting To Scale. It's all BS for when Lipitor goes off patent and others can make generic versions and we lose lots of money. So far I have been spared but eventually they will do it cheaper in China and I will have to start looking....I like where I live and don't want to move but, for me, there are no other options nearby. I may have to follow some friends of mine to NC.

not an issue.
ridership is up and the lirr aint going nowhere.
worst case, layoffs, my seniority is out of layoff range.
i have about 500 or more men under me.
