There was a lot of whispering today lmfao!!! I would walk by and people got silent I'm facked!
Having "Been There" too , I can say from first hand experience that the stress one experiences with the news of the pending RIFS starts hitting is incrediible. We had two kids in college at the time. Fortunately they both graduated with good degrees before I was RIF'd. One should alway have a tidy current resume, it's your basic tool in marketing yourself.
578- Very well put. Bottom line, like it or not, tomorrow Wednesday 6-24 is the day. At this point, EVERYONE has been warned. If you choose to believe otherwise, you are only fooling yourself. Should be an interesting day of chatter tomorrow once the axes get swung.

By the way, the $11 billion lawsuit they filed against EDMC is still out there--it has NOT been settled.
