I know the pain of working almost 20 years for a company and then get laid off without so much as a ‘thank you’. It does hurt.
However, I don’t understand how much denial these people are in. Can a town seriously survive without a newspaper cartoonist? Or a womens sports reporter?
The industry is dying because it failed to adapt. I haven’t picked up a newspaper to read in a long, long time. I, frankly, was glad to no longer be hostage to one-sided liberal reporting when I quit my subscription back in the 1990s.
My career has been a bumpy one since my 2010 layoff but the good news is retirement is not far away, likely another 18 months or so. I just have to find one more job and hang onto it until then.
Good luck to you, FRiend.
