About the best news I gathered from my group of friends, some of whom are still students, is that one was given a promotion in name and work only, with no raise to accompany it. Hey, more work is sort of a way to demonstrate more value to the company, right? Yikes.

Thankfully I'm of the type that has avoided a layoff, but I work in banking so we'll see how long that lasts. About the only place doing some serious hiring these days is the US Census Bureau.

More likely, this is a case of birds of a feather, flocking together...
