Yeah, there is something to be said for notice being given once it is known. That is the one grudge I hold against my last department head. He and one other office worker knew from sometime in June of 2005 they were going to layoff me and two others. We were actually told in the second half of August. That meant we lost out on applying for jobs posted during those two months, and had that much less chance to prepare. In my case, I heard about it less than 15 minutes after coming back from vacation.
