This may sound like a really daft question, but as Lehman has collapsed, does that mean everyone loses their job? As in, IT staff, support, admin & clerical, the cleaners...everyone? I have a very dear friend who works in IT support for them and have no idea what his situation is. I'm away right now so don't really have the means to contact him...
Yes, the company has collapsed, gone, ceased to be, is no more. They're not going to employ your friend to sit around fixing computers that are not there.
