We've had two rounds of layoffs in the last 6 months. It's kinda ironic because right before the first layoff (back in July, when things were supposed to be improving from late '08 & early '09) I was talking to some co-workers about how great it is that our company made it through the tough-spot in the economy.
Since the layoffs, I've been paranoid that I'm next and I've stressed constantly about proving that I'm too valuable to be let go. I've come in early, stayed late, and even worked weekends. BUT it has put things in perspective for me and the DW. Our emergency fund contributions have seen a drastic acceleration in the last few months
