You certainly sound like your keeping your head about it. Making "just in case" plans is a smart thing to do, especially in these times. I really hope things will turn out good for you and your family. Remember though, that the FV ladies are always here with a sympathetic ear.
Please keep us up-to-date too.
Wishing you well!

We'll say a prayer for you. Can I ask what industry you are in?

Well here's hoping it's just a rumor. Having a Plan B is always a good idea for everybody...sometimes having a Plan C & D come in handy too.

Sending you good vibes that this is just a rumor and both of you will be safe from layoffs.

If there are layoffs, I wonder if the company will take into consideration the fact that you both work there and will be more willing to save one of your jobs so that you both are not immediately unemployed.

Thanks for all the concerns!!
My direct supervisor wont be back from holidays until next week so it'll be a bit of time before any concerns can be brought up with him re: these talks....
I told DH on friday night the things I had heard and his response was "why did you tell me?! you know I'll dwell on this all weekend!!"...so I told him its better he dwell on it now when things are "good" than when we're struggling and in real deep sh*t, ya know? He thought about it for one moment and agreed. We had some good talks about what we could potentially do just in case so all in all, at least this brought up a good conversation. I honestly think no matter how stable you think your job is, I suggest everyone has a talk with their partners about a "what if?" scenario.
I did an inventory of what we have stockpilled and did a little bit of shopping over the weekend to refill what we use lots. Still a few more items to go but I'm trying to keep us all within budget while I do this.
