I have to admit to being curious about Layoffs. I've dealt with several Work Rivals through the years, but have never encountered a Layoff, even though I know they are mentioned in the game. I'm just wondering if an in-game Layoff is just for a short period and then the sim can go back to their career. Or if it's like they are during an RL bad economic time, where you get laid off - rather than outright fired - so that way you're not able to claim Unemployment benefits. (Which is just plain cruddy of a company to do, because they've already paid for your unemployment benefits while you were working for them; it's not like they suddenly need to pay more just because an ex-employee starts a new claim.)
I just made the post about Layoffs! It's pretty much random when they happen, and after the layoff you can't rejoin the career for a while, but you can eventually!
