I've never gotten a pink slip before. I think it must feel pretty bad to lose your job and know you have no hope of finding a new one until at least January. The logical side of your brain tells you that you've got severance and unemployment. The emotional side must still freak out.
It's a surreal thing, to be on a successful account in a failing economy. Worse yet to see people being fired when we have so much to do there's surely room for more staff. Restrictions are everywhere, right at a time when we should be celebrating an achievement.
I'm not complaining. Well, not exactly. I'm just wondering if it's stuff like this -- holding back those individuals who are succeeding because the rest of the company isn't -- if it isn't stuff like this which prevents the economy from bouncing back. If the economy hasn't shell shocked you, wouldn't now be a good time to wake up and stop acting shell shocked?
Just saying.

We just went through layoffs two weeks ago for the third time in 2009. This current go-round (over the last year) seem scarier because of the uncertainty on whether these jobs will ever come back.
