New He might be exaggerating a bit...
...but the truth is, companies are less likely to lay people off on a Monday for specifically that reason. I asked my HR director. :)

Nice woman. Used to work for Sierra Online as their HR director, and got out when things REALLY started to go down the tubes.

I was let go from my last job on Nov 4th, 2002, a Monday. I guess they didn't want me earning another work week and just let me go on Monday instead of Friday. But then it was a small business barely making a profit anyway, so they do things differently than the big businesses out there.
