Well, here in the San Francisco Bay Area, I've always been pretty
circumspect about job hunting. And I've recommended caution to a number of
friends and colleagues over the years.
The only time it's been out in the open has been after a layoff, when all
of those who are no longer employed by a company have been given a
specified period of time in which they could come back to the company site
to use company resources such as computers, phones, and faxes to look for a
new job. That's happened to me twice in the past ten years.
