Do you really want the backing of a manager of company that's laying off a large percentage of their employees including yourself? Talk to new people. It will be liberating.

??? I don't see the relation. Are you suggesting that, despite the economic conditions, only bad managers of bad companies have to lay people off? I think this is specious reasoning. I'd be careful of such advice if I were you, OP. And I mean no offense to jakewolf; I just think it's wise for the OP to be wary of this type of advice.
