Re: As someone who was laid off by AT&T...
Which I have lived through 2 times now. And at the end of this week it will be the 3rd time.
You can't blame them for it. You have to pick yourself up and do what it takes to get back in the game.
I personally am looking forward to it. a change of space is good at times.

- first, you lose your job because some exec finds out he can save money if he has some indian kid do your job at well below what he pays you,
- second, when you find out your job is coming back it's no guarantee that you're coming back. most employees have call back rights, usually withing 3 years of separation, and if it's been longer than that you go back to the normal applicant pool.
I know quite a few of my fellow employees who were laid off from jobs paying in the 50-60k range who are nowhere near that level of income now. Imagine having to sell your house because you lost your job and can no longer afford the mortgage only to find out that your former position is now available again.
