"They sent us letters. They phoned it in. They asked their retailers, you know, in their neighborhood, where do I find a card that says this?” Hallmark Creative Director Derek McCracken told NPR. “And again, loss of job, like any loss, is a grieving process. And so we have to acknowledge as soon as possible what had happened and then try to support them. So that's where we kind of offer more cards on the, you'll get through this, versus dwelling on the loss of the job itself.”

Actually, I think it’s a great idea. Humor is a great diffuser of trouble. And when you lose your job, a pick me up from a friend is really welcome.

I lost my job building the intercontinental railroad so I moved to the 57th state to get that three letter word...jobs. As a corpse-man, right?

You insensitive lout, where were you with one of these cards for me THREE YEARS ago?!
LOL
I did everthing *wrong* back then. To include rejecting well-meant gestures of sympathy from ppl who love me.
I know better now.

**Don’t think of it as losing your job. Think of it as a time out between stupid bosses.**
I know so many people of of work, I couldn’t afford all the cards that I would need to send.
A better idea would be to take the $5. for the card and postage, a buy the unemployed person and gift card for gas or food.

Errr...you didn’t tell me you were laid off.
