Pretty good advice there, and I get where you're coming from about just finding another job before I get laid off, but a bird in the hand is worth 2 in the bush. It's not a guarantee that I'll get laid off in may, and there are a lot of guys retiring in April so they will probably either call some people back or just absorb those retirements into the layoff. I also have really good benefits here and even tho I work with some dicks, there's also a few good people here and I do enjoy what I do. Not to say I won't keep my eyes open and send some feelers out there...
