A silver lining on a group-firing/layoff is that you're already with a bunch of people going through the same thing as you are. A production studio I was with had to shut down due to some contracts falling through, and everybody went to the liquor store, got a bunch of beer, sat outside (this was in the Summer) and had an afternoon drinking and reminiscing. We all just chatted from 10am till late into the evening. It was sad but also one of my fondest memories, one of those that makes you tear up and smile.
