Theres a huge meeting going on that I wasn't invited to, but I asked some guy who came out of the meeting. And he said everyone in there is getting let go.

I still have no idea what's going on but I guess I'm not affected? I'm an intern and I should probably give up hope of getting hired here :/

That means you'll get paid twice as much since you're doing the job of two people, right?

If you're an intern at least you were able to get the experience before they went under. My company recently went through a massive layoff as well and I was fortunate.

Yikes. Keep on truckin', but get your resume ready

Though if you're a paid intern and you weren't dismissed then you're probably safe... for now at least

That sounds highly unethical if not outright illegal

unethical? probably, depending on how the business is being run

you can bet the execs are keeping their fat paychecks though

yeah it's been great experience so far. I really wanted to get a fulltime position here though cuz they pay like $80k+ for entry lvl engineers...

Look for other jobs. Be glad you made the cut. My company has downsized to about a third of what it was when I started.
I consider myself lucky but I'm still lookin'
