Having been laid off before I can say it does indeed suck. One thing though that offers a slight glimemr of happy in the sea of suck... is that with a layoff at least you can approach the next prospective employer with most likely a positive past experience.

Whereas when you're fired, you pretty much have to start with: Yes, I was fired, but here's why you should still hire me.

Not having to overcome a negative mark is at least something.

Ultimately it still sucks, and my heart goes out to them all.
