Commiserating over impending layoffs

Does "all employees" mean all people who got the message or does it mean all the people who are still employees at 2 p.m. tomorrow?

Let's get drunk before we know who goes.

    There will be an ATARI GAMES -wide "meeting" tommorrow

(on Brokaw) at 2:00 P.M. for all employees who can attend.

You'll need money for drinks;  bring some.  The meeting will

last 'till the money runs out.

Response to public query

This response is threefold:

    The event at the Red Lion Inn (on Brokaw) is NOT a
"survivor's party."  Everyone is invited to attend.

    The official management viewpoint of the occasion is
not specified.  I (the sender) do not represent company
management on this.  I personally believe they are looking
the other way.  While they cannot encourage this event,
they do not discourage it.

    Last but not least, my name is not Owen.  I have been
asked to pass on the message because nobody wanted to take
credit (answer all the questions) for authorship.  Me either.
(Mostly because I don't have any answers.)
