    One of my clients works for a company (EDS I think) that contracts with AT&T; he says they are down to 40% of the workforce they had in January. The worst part is that his whole company will lose the contract in a few months to IBM, so even the few left won't have a job for long.

    Half the people I work with right now are victims of AT&T layoffs that happened 3 years ago... Bad times..

    I do, and I have heard of this, but not in detail. All I know is my job is secure.
