I need some home improvement knowledge

Well as usual, life throws a curveball at me and I take it on the chin. I came in this morning to an email from a super duper high up in the company. Basically he said take a look around, in a few weeks a few of you may not be here. So I'm going with the windows, but the rest of the project is on hold for right now.
I've only been at this company for 5 months and already I've recieved my fair share of kudos and attaboys, but since there has only been one person hired after me I'm a bit worried. Oh well, I'm sure I'll land on my feet if they give me the hook.

Ya, you should still be worried being one of the new guys.
Hopefully they may want to get rid of some of the older guys they don't like.
These days, you never know though. It seems like people are let go at random.
I would start looking now and get some leads going just in case something does happen.
Good luck.

Thanks. Like I said I'm not too worried about it. I've been bustin my arse for the last few years trying to get all of our needless debt squared away. For the most part we're in good shape. If I do get the hook I can always tend bar and do other things to make ends meet.
My only fear is thast since I work in the insurance company capital depending on the timing off the lay-offs I could really be screwed. People literally walk across the street and find a new gig since there are so many companies. AIG (not good anymore), the Hartford, Aetna, Cigna, Connecticare, SBLI, John Hancock, MetLife, Travelers, Ing, etc are all within 15 minutes of each other. I hope that everyone doesn''t downsize at the same time. If the 15 or so companies cut just 500 people each at the same time there's no way all 7500 could find comparable jobs.
