From there financials it looks like that could happen any time anyway. If
you were looking for a job in technology, (where you have experience and can
get better pay) are you better off leaving SCO or getting laid off by SCO?
After seeing "The Incredible Shrinking Company" for the past two years, anyone
with two brain cells to rub together understands that there is no future
there. If they are not actively looking, their family will be on the streets
this summer anyway. Only a matter of time.
OTOH, Are you seriously saying that you do not have a few months living
expenses saved up, in this job market? If not, see a financial adviser come
January 3. Make it a new years resolution. It takes the white knuckled wide
eyed look out of the routine layoffs. You will sleep better.
