Yeah, I've known about two people who were going to be let go before they knew. One of them was just getting to his one year and approached me with "could you talk to Steve about getting me a raise?" I wasn't supposed to break the news, but what was I supposed to say. "Yeah, ummm I'll mention it." At least they let him stay for another month before he was finally let go. The other guy simply got told to show up at the main office where they had a box with all of his stuff. No severence or anything. I felt so bad for him, espeically since I knew a full two weeks before he did.
