My husband got laid off today.

I am in shock. He was laid off from a different job in April 2009 and was lucky enough to find this job right away and was working within a month. His 2 year anniversary at this company was yesterday and he was let go today. He and I both suspected that it was coming (they've had an unbelieveable amount of people give their notice in the last few months), but neither of us thought it would be this soon. He thought he had another 6 months. His manager is the only person left in his department and she was put on probation. It's absurd.
He got 2 weeks' severance and was paid for the 7 vacation days that he had. I know he'll get unemployment until he finds something else, but it's not enough. It's a blessing in disguise because the company is just a hot mess right now, but I'm scared. We have a child graduating from HS next month and going off to college in August, a mortgage, etc., etc.
Any good wishes/vibes/prayers/whatever would be most appreciated.

I'm really sorry to hear this. I hope he's able to find something that's a good fit very quickly.
Cheryll, I am so very sorry to hear about this. I will keep my eyes out for anything in his field.
Had he been looking for anything else? Do you have any leads on a new position? This just sucks, I truly feel for you guys and am sending you good job vibes.

Thanks ladies!
He's in IT. Data analyst/programmer, to be specific.
And I was wrong about the severance. Sean misunderstood what they said. He only got one week of severance (not two). Jerks.
Stacy, I'll send you an email now.
