Everything in a company is about MONEY. IF it wasn't, they would call
it a charity...

Sorry, don't mean to push any buttons, I know some folks here are in
bad situations through no fault of their own, but what - does the
comany owe you a paycheck until they go under? They probably believe
that if they didn't have the layoffs, the comany would go under, but if
they have the layofs, they might be able to save the company.

Ultimately, your career is your responsibility.
