[quote=Anonymous]I'm 50 and have worked for six companies and feel the HR folks no longer pretend to be looking out for the employee at all. I am recently laid off from a local IT contractor that has gone through three sets of management in the last 6 years and also has shed more than 1000 positions (about 20% of the company). So, yes, it's basket case.

The HR folks were non-responsive to my questions during the last couple months at the company, pretty much telling me that the company is legally able to do whatever they want with salaried employees. The projects that I was working on had run out of money but weren't done so we were told to use our leave time to "fill out" our timesheets. When I balked at this and instead charged my time to overhead, I was promptly laid off. HR just told me that the contracting business was tough and they were "sorry" that I was leaving.

They didn't bother with things like an exit interview or even a questionnaire. I just joined the other 50 folks heading out the door that month. [/quote]
