I understand your comment and I agree with you. It is going to happen to me in the not so distant future, either by my employer's hands or my own. My only regret is not expanding my horizons but rather learning my company specific task better than any college educated individual could ever hope to achieve in school.....
I for one can not stand in judgment of anyone who loses their job for anything other than misconduct....
When I observe what is now happening with my company, a tier one supplier to the Big 3 and owned by a German Steel conglomerate, I have to question where the economic recovery is actually occuring......
Sorry to hear that. I hope you're better prepared for difficult times than we were.
In the long run, we'll get through. I'm still not sure it's worth the experience for me to be able to understand and relate to others who've gone through similar, but when this is all over, that'll be a benefit that I'll take with me for the rest of my life.
