Damn Mike, really sorry to hear that. A skill set like yours should be fairly marketable though. Even doing side jobs and such, I would think you could make ends meet.

I'll keep my ears open for anyone looking for a fab guy.

You might try posting on Pirate 4X4 too, depending on what type of fab work you do.

This for my folks anyway is happening to the entire IT dept where I work -

The infrastructure folks are hit first and then the apps folks

IBM got the first contract and Congizent is getting the apps portion (cog going almost 90% overseas)

infrastructure folks to be gone by end of Feb and Apps folks to be history by end of March.

The north eastern part of the US for us is going to be GONE shortly - the company is trying to dump the black hole of cash that is our NE and Arizona divisions..

I wish!! Then I would feel more secure, instead of waiting for the HR call to come one day.
