Your correct, I would have given back my raise for doing a great job or more if I had the chance.
I figured they lay off the some of the document control people that sat behind me that work 2 hours a day and spend most of their time talking to their relatives and shopping on the internet. But NO, not one of them were laid off. they laid off three engineers and every male superviser over 55.

This is unfortunate because older workers are often willing to take a cut
in salary and provide valuable experience. This happened to my husband.

Please respond to TechNet E-Mail Forum, "Woolley, Mark D. (Mark)"
So true, John.
I have seen people with 20+ years experience cut.
Today's economy is just beginning to move back to the US, so I don’t'
expect a high increase in technical employment for several years yet.

Sorry to hear the bad news.
I got laid off over a year ago even though I was the one bringing in the
new technology, developing the new proceses and supporting the
manufacturing processes and equipment. Since none of the politicians are
talking about changing the laws and tax benefits given to the big
corporations that ship our jobs overseas, I don't see any changes that will
help anyone to get a good paying job. Good luck if your over 55 and even a
healthy athletic 62 year old won't even be considered even though they
could because of experience and energy can run circles around the
overweight and lazy 30-40 year olds.
Even the government FBI, CIA won't hire anyone over 25. So much for
anti-discrimination laws.
Since they can lay you off based on salary, the best workers with great
performance reviews are being laid off and the law doesn't protect you.

Well the economy hit home last week. I normally follow, lurk, and
occasionally post to Technet from my work address, but got suddenly laid
off last week Tuesday after 15 yrs w/the co. - that address now bounces.
This was my anonymous log in, if I wanted to post a little more carefully.
I will probably sign off for a while. I don't know if I will get back into
the electronics area - not a lot of options on the prairies of western
Canada, and I really don't want to move right now. Will probably look at
some other options like the mining sector, or perhaps the consulting
industry, or a couple other options. Anyway, just wanted to say thanks for
sharing all of your help and knowledge. I learned so much. Genny, aka
"Pearl"
