Linked from Tom Peters….this is a post from Advertising Age: What to Do When Your Friends Get Laid Off.

1 – be a friend.
2 – network – put them in touch with your network. twitter, facebook, linkedin.
3 – collect everyone you know that has been laid off into a group. share. help.

It is tough being laid off. I miss my boys. I miss the friendships I had developed. Solid, good, enriching friendships. Not just work friends that you only see at work. But guys I have integrated into the rest of my life. We’re transitioning. We’re adjusting the ways we communicate. No more interoffice IM. No more popping in. Phone calls, texts, meebo for IM.
