Nortel employees about 300 in Ireland, you will be able to add those job losses to the 1,900 at Dell, and the 100's of other jobs going at an alarming rate.

It all makes me very sad this global depression. It was a rather poignant day today. This was the last time I will get to see many of the "boys" of our company all together playing pick up hockey.
For the past few months they have got together every thursday to play hockey and a couple of us girls have gone to the arena to watch. Today marks the end of the great comradery as we know, 1 out of every 3 will be gone come Monday of next week...
I will miss them dearly. It was sad to receive the delivery of their final pay arrangements by the courier today, I just can't help feeling terribly saddened by the pending loss of our co-workers

Rumor has it, my area supervisor put in a plea to the VP to not cut our department as we are running skinny enough as it is. I try to remain optimistic.

I am still employed as of today. We lost 13 staff members since 2:00pm today. Very sad day, moral is pretty low.
This cut went deeper than many of us anticipated, this is 13 members from only one department.

Oh Minks, that is so sad. I am wishing your position is secure.
