The worst day ive had in recent history..

They laid off 8 people 2 weeks ago at my work. Then this morning they laid off 9 more, so that makes 17 people in 3 weeks in a workforce that only totaled 98 to begin with. I feel that i'm pretty safe and have been told by upper management that i'm safe, but they also said after they laid off the first 8, no more layoffs untill after the 1st of the year. The Economy is really shitty. I feel for everyone out there. Some of the people laid off are really good friends of mine, and now I feel like the asshole, because they think I chose the people that got laid off, and i chose nobody. Upper management made all the choices.
