well i went into work today and Dell decided to shut down the facility i was working at. we thought something was going on with the amount of rumors that were going on but we thought it was going to last until at least december.

They didn't tell you ahead of time? You just walked in and they said goodbye?

pretty much there had been rumors for about a month now and they had been denying them. well Friday at 9:45 we walked in and the site lead stated well you guys know about the rumors going around well they are true as of right now your employment with dell has been severed in a few moments you will be given your severance package please turn in your badge grab a box and collect your things. by law they were required to give us 60 days notice but instead of doing that we are getting a check for 2 months pay.
