This Month in Layoffs: September 2009
On the one hand, according to Law Shucks, September was almost three times worse for layoffs than August. On the other hand, that’s still a lot better than May.
While we’ve been focused on the U.S. market, Law Shucks reports that the biggest September layoffs happened in the U.K.
Of the seven firms that laid people off, the biggest by far was Eversheds, which laid off 117 people (22 lawyers, 95 staff) - the largest layoff in over two months. The second-largest was UK IP firm Marks & Clerk, which laid off 60 people as it consolidated offices and scaled back due to the downturn (in a story broken by us, thanks to tipsters).
Still, as regular readers know, September was far from quiet on the home front.

What do most ATL readers and welfare leaches have in common?
They all think they are entitled to handouts.
We need to bomb welfare leaches back to the stoneage!

Leach is not a noun.
I'm a "G-11" which makes me feel mildly insecure about my career and salary.
But when I'm a "G-13" this job will be totally awesome!
Plus, we get Veterans Day off!

Do you get Columbus Day and Arbor Day off too?
basically, no significant layoffs for the last two months. When are the jobs coming back already? I am tired of romen noodles and would like some sashimi.
