Being laid off stinks. Amid all the announcements and clinical discussion about downsizing at Yahoo it's easy to forget there are real people losing jobs.

Here's a Twitter account of one Yahoo employee's walk of shame to the layoff zone, the laptop confiscation and other D-day happenings.

Some excerpts:

  • This is a serious downer. Trying to drown it in free lattes. Which I will miss.
  • Finishing meeting with HR. Need to go clear out desk now.
  • Lots of whispered conversations. Like people are afraid to ask who's gone.
