That is a tough situation. It is very hard on the people laid off and the people who are left to pick up the slack. I was laid off 6 years ago after 33 years on the job. It was devastating at first but it allowed me to be home full time to take care of my father in law, Mom and Dad in their final years. My Dad would have had to go to a nursing home, his worst fear, had I not been laid off and able to care for him. This economy is scary. |
