Compaq Employee
I work for Compaq. I am sure all of you have heard of the downsizing that they are doing. So far, I have kept my job and actually have had more duties added to my plate. With the attempted merger with HP... at least 15,000 more jobs are to be cut. I might be in that number. If I get cut, then so be it. I will get my severence package of full pay and benefits for about 4 months. Then I will be eligable for unemployment. I think I will be OK because I always can fall back to teaching. But others will not be so lucky...
