Yeah. Maybe that’s why it wasn’t too helpful to me. Nobody knew what it was. :)</p>

<p>I suppose technically I wasn’t laid off., but pretty much the same thing. They had a mandatory RIF - reducton in force - and they offered a “package” to people if they volunteered for the layoff. One time deal - if you didn’t take it you took your chances with the layoff and no package. It was a pretty good package so I took it. So I wasn’t technically laid off, but apparently they felt my position was expendable or they wouldn’t have made the offer. It was a pretty brutal time at that company.</p>
