The wave
We had a re-organization at work yesterday that has left me pretty shaken. I’m still here – which is a good thing – but some are not. Some are friends, some are not, and some I did not even know. But I am sad to see them go. Even the one who made my life miserable the whole time I worked with him. Still, how unfortunate.
Business is a fudge.
I’m glad I am but a lowly engineer who does not make enough money to warrant being canned because that will not make the company any significant savings.
When, at the end of an unusually hard day, I cannot just go home and say, “Oh well, it’s just work”, that is not a good place to be.

Oh, Lisa, I’m not going anywhere. It’s just a really upsetting day.

I know, but I still get upset when I hear about people losing their jobs, even if I don’t know them personally (which is possible because I don’t think I really know many people in your department).
*hugs*

Oh – Myra, that’s awful. I’m sorry! I got laid off once. I know the whole experience is really upsetting for everyone, whether you stay or go. Hang in there!
