Being laid off all the time does not mean he cant manage his life.
Unless you have been there, you wouldn't understand.

: Well, it would depend on WHY he was constantly being laid off. Quite often people who get laid off repeatedly do have something to cause them for getting laid off ... like talking back to the boss, coming in late everyday, not being able to take orders, etcetera.

Now there are some people who get laid off ... sometimes many times. But they usually right themselves and get back on track ... or they find a job that works for them. But the fact that this guy was constantly laid off ... and then kills himself when he can't manage the terrible tolls of winning the lottery, suggests that he may have had problems just managing his life.

I've been in management for many years and have been involved in layoffs. I can honestly say that my company has never, ever, laid off a good worker. Whenever we have to do RIF's (reduction in force), we use it as an opportunity to rid ourselves of deadwood and other "high-maintenance" employees.

Now maybe there are companies out there that layoff their best people. But I've never worked in such a company.
