During the restructuring efforts of the corporate workforce in the newly established Anheuser-Busch InBev Inc., total of 1850 people lost their jobs. 1400 of these were full time employees and the rest were long-time consultants.Being a consultant for this firm, I also experienced the terrific and stressful hours of waiting about "the" phonecall today. Although I was one of the few consultants lucky enough to stay in the company, most of my friends who are both in full time and consultant workforce lost their jobs. It will weird to go back to work tomorrow morning and not see them in the office.
The transition of the workload will also be interesting. It looks like many projects will have to move forward with almost half of the people they had before today. This means more work for all... I hope this will help me to gain more experience both in business analyst and project management roles in the long-run.

Yes, this will be a lot of work. This is just the way a capitalistic society functions. I was one of the lucky ones as well. In fact I prefer having to work more projects and having less people as long as it isn't insane hours (like 16 hours days for 6 months straight).
I can only imagine how hard that wait was. I am glad that you made it to the team. However, we rae sad about the thousands who did not, right before the christmas time. Good luck!
