Oh, it does involve me. Us. My Division will essentially no longer exist. I will be competing with my friends to get jobs within other parts of P&G. We have been told that we will be helped, and other sectors of the company are expected to consider our applications before others from outside. We have until May 1 to find a job within P&G or we will be offered a severance package. It is fair, I guess. I just am not looking forward to the whole application/interview process.

I think the big picture will treat you well though the current situation sucks.

You all will be happy to hear that both Jester and Dulcinea have found positions within our company and will remain gainfully employed.

Yay!

Well I'm glad that any employment situations were resolved positively. That said...

It sure ain't your father's P&G.

And I know I sound like a closet socialist, but I'm sorry, every time a once-proud-now-can't-suck-enough corporation lays off employees like this, I think they should have every right to do so, but as I mentioned on the Enron thread, they should have to first spend a year at Lucasville being violated daily. That way, at least the decision to lay off would have to be made carefully.
