That's the real question, Noa. Who is more unfortunate - the one let go or the two remaining? I think Tabitha and I talked about this a bit back. If you are one of the "lucky" ones to keep your job, you're expected to do the work of one and a half, while being grateful to have kept your job. While the person who is let go often ends up better off. Sigh.
I'm not trying to depress you, really. It's just that it is a completely legitimate question.
Or as my husband says
"The retained shall envy the released."
(Of course it's best said in my husband's dryest voice).
