i was laid-off twice early in my career in very large reorgs / cost-cutting.
the thing that wld have been helpful for me to hear then was 'this is not abt you. you were a number on someone's spreadsheet. they wanted that number to go down by 1000 or 2000 or 10,000'.
so, to anyone who needs to hear that today:
it's not abt you. you did nothing wrong.
@jbminn Yup. These reductions are absolutely not about the people. It's only about money.
Corporations are not people and they should not be treated as such. They should not be permitted access to the political process. Vis-a-vis money should not vote. But it does.
Corporations and big money are what underpin conflict that get people killed.
Only people bleed. Only people should vote.
