I dont think Jess knows you meant the bank's branch/location. You work in the coporate office right? You take care of the behind the scenes stuff i think.

Hiya BetterMost friends.
No happy angel today, not in a happy mood today.
At about 9:00am this morning, three people were laid off/let go from there jobs this morning on the floor that I work on.
2 of the people were very close to me. One (Rosanne) I ate lunch with every day. The other (Elta) is a sweet woman who is in the cubicle across from me. When one of my past relationships had just broken up, I went to work the next day. Bad idea, I was in an emotional state. Elta saw this right away, grabbed a box of tissues, and a bottle of water, pulled me into a private room, and gave me a shoulder to cry on, literally.
There are rumblings of more layoffs to come. I'm pretty sure my position is secure. I’ve purposely kept myself “small potatoes”, so to speak. Others have moved up, and have now put themselves in the line of fire. I kept myself focused on paper pushing, which is what is needed at this point, so I’m ok now.
In a short time, things changed.
My position is still safe. However, the 3 people laid off has been extended to 10.
On the floor below us, one entire department was let go.
Nothing is getting done today at all, because everyone (who is left) is walking around talking to each other.

I'm very sorry to hear this, Chuck, and most especially about your two close friends. I had hopes the economy was turning around, but I guess it's not, or at least not quickly enough.
???
Maybe in a week or so when the dust settles you can do something nice for them? take them out to dinner or something? Being out of work is a sucky feeling.
Sorry, bud.
Edit: Elta sure sounds like a sensitive and compassionate woman. I hope you can keep in touch with her.
