yeh happened here too but that was the week before Xmas.

stay positive, thats what ive done. If a business is to survive they need to cut back.

Not a nice feeling but everyone who was cut back here have all found new jobs in the same industry, despite the massive media attention that automotive is suffering.

I know the feeling mate i got laid off at Christmas but i was lucky enough to get another job, been there 5 weeks now .its a pretty good job if you like working in a freezer at minus 15 degrees.

Another freezer person lol, people always say I've got the best job in summer and tell me how awful it must be in winter. Personally, I'm used to it (except first thing in the damned morning).

OP just be thankful it wasn't you, make yourself irreplaceable and they won't even think about taking you off the team
