Default OT: I am still employed!

Just heard from the big boss that I'm not one of the 3% being laid off within BellSouth. Whew!

Just wanted to share that as I am very, very relieved.

DV- who is happy he will still be in attendance at:

1. VIR in December
2. 2002 Expo

Surviving the first round is easy...

Wait for round 2.

Layoffs suck, even for the people that get "passed over".

Great news man.

I survived the first wave at Agilent...now I'm worried about the next wave of 20%.

Oh well.

Hey, me too! Just not Bell South, and I survived a 15% reduction. I am with McLeodUSA, one of your fellow telecom buds.

What part of the company do you work in?

Cool. I work in Network (Engineering) as a transmission engineer with high speed circuits...

DV- who's job has been very boring recently due to companies not ordering circuits
