Yes, Out of work since January 15.

In a way, yes. The economy didn't get me laid off, it just prevented me from getting my old job back. Or any other job for that matter.

In a way yes. I was promised a job and then they decided to hire through a temp agency so they didn't have to pay benefits and pay as much salary as they were going to pay. I can't seem to find a job because everyone is going through temp agencies here and so I guess you could say yes.

No I was a temporary worker at the beginning of it and now permanent, every companies under threat, what cards I dealt I will play.

No. Is it your job of the company's job? A lot of people think their job belongs to them and it doesn't.

No, I had taken a years sabbatical anyway but my position is still waiting when I decide if I wish to return.

Nah, just 20% salary cut, loss of bonuses, loss of 401k match, loss of employee stock purchase program discount...all the while going from high teens to #9 in the Fortune 500. It may be time to develop heavy short positions on a certain company's seemingly-overvalued stock that has had ~30% increase in share price the first 6 months of '09. You heard it on the internet. It MUST be true.
