Be glad.  I got a pink slip for my year end bonus.  I'll be unemployed on January 4.

I'm sorry, PP. I wish you well. [/quote]

Thanks.  Fortunately, we are much better off than many, so we are going to be okay.  My wife makes about 5% less than I do, so  we can cover the mortgage and the basic expenses.  We have 6 months of full expenses in liquid savings, and from a previous time like this, when I was out of work for 6 months, I was able to shop more intelligently and did all the cooking and it only cost about 1/4 of our emergency savings for that six months.  I'll go back into house-husband mode if I don't find a job within the next 6 weeks.

Fortunately, I've been a contractor at my agency for over 24 years and have a lot of skills that are important for the agency.  I have had one interview and have another tomorrow from internal leads and I doubt I'll be unemployed for more than about 6-8 weeks at the longest.  We can handle that pretty easily.

I only shared this to help those who are complaining about small bonuses put their situations into perspective, but there are probably many who will never grok that.

Happy holidays to all. [/quote]
