I was laid off on Friday. I had only been there since the summer. Hadn't had much work since about December or so.

SPi layoff
Get this...after all the big layoffs of the US MTs, this past Friday they sent out an email offering a bonus after 90 days to to anyone who recruited an MT as they are so out of turn on their most important accts. Interesting, eh?
Because it is a layoff you can apply
now and use your layoff date for the date of start benefits. It takes time to process so you will be ahead of the game. Each state should be able to give you Medicaid information .. as my state has Healthy Kids and it is a separate program from the regular Medicaid. Keep in mind, though, that if you COBRA for 18 months you will have that insurance for as long as you choose to keep it. Make sure the lovely Ms. Neidert explains the COBRA fully to you or turn them in .. they did not explain fully to us and caused a lot of misinformation and people doing things incorrectly.
layoff/rehire
That email offering a bonus was not sent out to everyone. Only a limited number of individuals/
MT looking for work after heartland layoff
Is PMSI a good company to work for? I have not tried them yet.
amphion layoff info anyone?
that is what inquiring minds want to know - specifics
60 days notice before a layoff? sm
People get laid off at the last minute all over the country. Maybe I am not understanding your post correctly? It does sound like to me that you are saying you must have 60 days notice before a layoff though. If that is indeed what the post is saying, there is no way or every company in the US is breaking the law!
I google federal layoff law. sm

Can click open articles.
Companys should at least be reported to the Federal labor department so those coming up from behind. Sadly people need to be MADE to be decent to their fellow humans
Layoff Email-or lack thereof...
I sent an email to Cathy Clemons this morning inquiring as to where the email is that they promised on Monday night and she said there was a technical error in sending it out and it would be out by noon today, when Colleen Neidert returns to the office! I hope she enjoyed her time off after participating in firing all of us on Monday.
Yeah, the layoff scenario went thru my head, as well, especially (sm)
since I hear this co. has a branch in India.
