We need your voice if you have been impacted by a layoff during this terrible economy. We are Temple University Faculty conducting academic research on unemployment due to layoffs. If you have been one of the many good people who have been impacted during this economy through a layoff, please tell your story through our survey. We have a couple of hundred people that have responded so far, but to get this story into the main stream media we need at least a few hundred more. We are driven to tell the real story of what is happening as the politicians will be putting their spin on it. We want the truth to be heard and need your help.

This easy, online, confidential survey is 100 questions and should take you 15 to 30 minutes.

We will be happy to send you a copy of the findings.

Here is a sampling of the comments we have received thus far:

“I ran one of the most productive departments and I know I was let go instead of a younger manager”
“I received a terrible severance package”
“My savings has been almost depleted”
“I gave the company 60 hours a week and this is how I was rewarded”
“How they decided and explained who was getting laid off made no sense”

We are faculty members in the Temple University Human Resource Management Department (215-204-8099 begin_of_the_skype_highlighting            215-204-8099      end_of_the_skype_highlighting): Gary Blau, gblau@temple.edu; John McClendon, johmac@temple.edu; Tony Petrucci, petrucci@temple.edu. Please contact us if you have questions about the survey.

By requesting the results of this survey through email at the end of the survey you can see how others are managing their job search activities and dealing with their job loss as we will gladly send you a copy of the report.

Thank you for your help and we are committed to getting the real story of what is happening to the good people of this country out while the politicians are engaging in rhetoric.
