Sad Day

During the last two days a company I worked at for almost 20 years went through lay-offs. I don't know if anyone has a count of how many people who had a job on Monday are now without a job, but I know it's between 300 and 500 people.

These are people I know. People I worked with and came up with through the system, and they are without a job. These are people who loved the company and who believed in the product. They worked hard - most working between 50 and 60 hours per week to make sure everything was right. They worked hard, did their jobs, and through no fault of their own no longer have a job.

It's happening all over America. What is wrong with this picture?

The only thought I am holding on to for these 100's of people is that it will get better. I have been through it and know things will improve for both the individual and the country. Until then, I will continue to maintain this blog hoping it helps even one person.

God bless you all as you seek your new life.

Thank you.
