09:45: All hands email announced unexpected company meeting
10:00: CEO waffles a bit then announces there will be redundancies
15:00: called into meeting room with boss, handed letter -- which I had to open and read to find out the news -- and then off down the pub to join the small but growing crowd of similarly luckless deadwood.
On a plus side, it was one of the best piss-ups in my time there; I think I tottered out at about 10pm. Don't remember getting home...
Biting the hand that feeds IT
