Just last week our company downsized a lot of people including me!    I’m cool with it as it allows me a lot more free time to get back to doing what I love to do the most.  Analyze and report data trends.

Well, I thought I would use PlusOneSocial and search on the hashtag #layoff and see what people are saying!  Most people are tweeting about their layoffs early in the morning or afternoon.  Why?  Because that is when they get the notice!

Interesting to see what the other hashtags are which include #unemployment, #jobs, #oil, #target and #texas being the most active.
