Certainly there needed to be something to get costs back inline. But I don't think I'd be expecting another crazy boom to come here. Recession over only suggests that most companies are going to stop getting rid of staff. When things do start moving forward again, they are going to be careful about hiring, and the employees who are left are probably still a bit fearful about things so they can probably be taken advantage of here for awhile. Although, if things did get going well again people will be well within their right to give it back to them.

But reading that layoff thread is pretty depressing, so hopefully things do start moving forward again and it can be a short period of time until things look a lot more positive.
