It appears that layoffs were again meted out at my old company this past Friday. Rather than the hundred-per-cent visual confirmation of a head nod in the main hallway of last time, I’m relying on email, chat and vague Facebook updates for a picture of who got hit.
After the first round of layoffs, one of my managers told me that we were the lucky ones, and I told the manager that I honestly didn’t feel that bad about it, already knowing that my time in the U.S. was coming to an end. Quite a few of us have moved on, and things could not have lined up better for me personally; which makes hearing about this one even worse. It happens all the time, but these are some of the best friends I’ve ever had now out of work in a saturated industry.
