Boy do I hate this. Losing a career is hell and I have done it 4 times.

My work has a special statement tomorrow. I hope it isn’t catastrophic. I am in service so it is better protected than product.

I really feel for those losing their jobs.

FReepmail me if you need help finding a new job. That’s what I did for 20 years.

Losing 3% of a workforce over 4 years is not that big of a deal. That is less than attrition. If the average career at a company is 40 years (very high in today's world) that would mean about 2.5% per year leave. If the average career is 20 years that is 5% per year.
