I'm sorry, that sucks. I hope they at least gave you notice so you could adjust and prepare instead of day-of/before "Hey, by the way!" Granted, a lot less people in tech are living paycheck to paycheck but it happens. Getting pinched there would be awful. Regardless of how these things - layoffs, pay cuts, whatever - go down, doing it with respect is key. After all, these are the people we've worked with, helped each other, and probably had a drink or two with. We're not family but we are human and it's a small world.
