It didn't seem like you were mocking anyone or responding to any one specific post in the thread. This is a big issue and each person has their own perspectives; no one is "right" or "wrong."

That's been my experience as well. I know a bunch of people (both attorneys and staff) at law firms who took pretty solid severance packages, or spent their last month mostly job hunting (because they weren't having clients' matters taken away from them). For some sectors, I think it's going to take longer for people to hit the unemployment line, if they do at all.
