I am in the same boat, only my boat is a lot smaller than yours :cry:
I am in India, got laid off in the 3rd wave, seems the company does something end of each quarter, 25% of my department.
I totally agree with what the poster mentioned about not telling your plans at your workplace, I naively did, even when I really dont have any backups for school this fall ( I applied only to 2 places). In hindsight I think my manager knew this was on the cards for more than 1.5 months before the cut and deliberately did not give work to me.
This was my first job and I am packing to go home today, could'nt pay the rent any longer, I cannot begin to tell you how humiliating this is specially since the others who joined from my college are still working.
