    The corporation I work for let go more than 1/2 of our local staff today without severance pay. Many of those let go were close friends whom I'd like to stay in touch. I feel guilty, however, that I'm still onboard!

    Can anyone offer wisdom on what I can say to these "friends" to break the ice? I've never experienced a corporate "layoff"...

    Say.."don't come running to me and borrowing money dudes!

    Just kidding. That is sad for your friends and there is no reason for you to feel a need to say anything. It wasn't your fault.

    How about saying this.." I wonder why I didn't get layed off?
    Let them do the talking.

    Sorry for your buddies, and hope things work out OK.
