bankrupt

Oops.

My company filed for bankruptcy this morning. "Business as usual" is our operational mantra at the moment.

Now taking all bets on how long I'll stay employed with them!

Probably means you have a minute or two. The bankruptcy will have to move it's way through, plans will have to be made, assets sold.

Keep looking, but bankruptcy for the company might not be a really bad thing for you, as long as the paychecks don't bounce.

Bankruptcy comes in two flavors, Chapter 11 and Chapter 7. 7 is liquidation, everything is sold. 11is reorganization and it means that the company operates under the supervision of a judge.
The goal is to emerge as a viable company. As Andy notes, it takes time. As to bouncing paychecks? Less likely, oddly enough. Remember the old mangement is not in charge, a judge is. Call me if you'd like to--and keep looking. dad

Good luck - I second Andy and Dad, but it doesn't hurt to step up the hunt now. Because sooner or later, you will either have to or want to move on.
