Glassman said work is still being done to identify positions that will be laid off. Those who have been laid off will receive a letter and other information about the layoff, and will stop working at the end of the 30-day notice. Laura Smith, treasurer of the Civil Ser- vice Council, said she was overwhelmed when hearing the number of layoffs would be 200 since she originally thought the number would be 150.
