Reading people's layoff notes the last few days, I would like to share some reminders:
1. Work will never love you back.
2. "It isn't personal." Ignore people who say that. Your salary, your sense of purpose and work integrity *are* personal, and when they are taken away without warning, it affects *you* personally, even if the decision to cut your position was only about money.
3. Thinking about your emotions through a job loss as grieving can be helpful.
4. Work will never love you back.
For two years, the Biden administration led an international coalition to provide military aid to Ukraine. Majorities in the U.S. and in Congress continue to support Ukraine. Now, a minority of Republicans are preparing to cut it all off.
If they do, the US is at risk of seeming not just like an unreliable ally, but an unserious ally https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2024/01/us-congress-support-ukraine-war/677256/
