This is true. You almost never hire in the fall and a lot of firms have already trimmed their staff levels to run leaner.

It's going to be a rough Christmas for a lot of people. I don't know anyone at Heller anymore, but I feel bad for those who are left.
Looks like the vote is official.

I love this part..."Until then, please be aware that The Firm has work for you and expects you to report to work."

I wonder what their other expectation are? We expect you to arrive late, leave early and have a generally crappy attitude. We also expect you to drink heavily at lunch. :)

I haven't spent much time trying to understand the law, but it seems like they're saying "since we have to pay you for the next 60 days, we expect you to do some work during that period."
