The terror of layoffs isn’t just in losing your job; it’s in the unpredictability of it. If you know you’re going to be unemployed in 3 months, you can prepare. Suddenly finding yourself unemployed right now is a different beast altogether. |

The first is seasonal. Every fall, due to the nature of the products they make, everyone but cleaning and maintenance staff are laid off for 2 months. Everyone knows it's coming, everyone prepares for it.
The second is the unpredictable one. They all, even maintenance and janitorial, got laid off in stages starting about two weeks ago. No one was ready for that. No one was prepared. It's a much different beast and has a MUCH larger impact on the surrounding community.
