how much did you pay for yours? I went to strickland today and they are tacking on 3k on top of sticker. I refuse to pay over sticker. If they want that much I will just pass on a 5th gen altogether!

Sucks to hear about layoff I got laid off from Toyota and now work at Southwest Research Institute in San Antonio. I actually do alot of 14A test for you guys that work at Baker Hughes and Schlumberger. At SwRI they are always hiring various positions and have not had a mass layoff ever, its a nice place to work.

anyone here work for a large company that has done any layoffs recently? i was working for baker hughes doing cnc programming and the last few weeks i had a feeling that the inevitable was coming! all my supervisors and whatnot kept denying it would happen! well i went in to work my shift tonite and got called in immediately. my job was eliminated along with many others who had less then 10 yrs working with them. it sucks but was completely out of my control. now on to figuring out what im going to do for a replacement job! anyone looking to hire a cnc programmer?

sorry to hear about your misfortune. i was laid off back in Feb, and im still trying to find employment.
i hope that you are able to collect unemployment benefits during this time, and i encourage you to get that process started ASAP, since it takes time for everything to fall in place.
wish you the best!
