Still at Motorola

This was a sorta tough week at work. Bad earnings came out, and management decided to cancel a bunch of projects and lay off around 2000 people. I am not one of the people laid off, though it looks like my projects have been killed. My team was pretty affected though, going from 11 to 5. Don't know what comes next - supposedly more announcements on reorganization will be coming up, and I'll figure out what I'm supposed to be doing. At least I still have a job.

Not sure whether I'm completely glad about escaping though - half of the people who worked for me are being laid off, and I had no notification about it, nor did I know until the end of the day, and knew who was 'safe'. Its tough to see people you've worked with for 3-5 years be let go...
