Sounds like you need to use whatever PDO's or vacation time and hit the streets looking!

In light of possible fraud, I think the employees who are laid off should file a class action law suite! I'm sure the shareholders will.

This BITES! How can I help, funz?

I hope everything works out for you. My cousin also works for WorldCom, and has been with them for many, many years (in charge of overseas something or other)...

I remember buying WCOM when I thought it was a good deal about 2-1/2 years ago - around $47. Luckily it was only 100 shares, I can only imagine being an employee with options, 401(k) stuff, and your job on the line. My thoughts are with you, FD.

I just got email letter from my broker entitled "It is time. Go hang yourself".

Actually it read "Research Update: WCOM: Serious Accounting Discrepancies"

What a story.
