re: Nothing like finding out you're getting laid off

Sorry to hear that. Being laid off is never fun. Hope the severance is decent and you find something better soon.

I disagree. I have been laid off so many times it is refreshing. I learned about 5 years into my career that I could make a living with a 9-5 job or without one...it has been extremely liberating for the last 36 years to know that I could survive without being an employee of someone else's business. For people who have not experienced it unless they curl up in a ball and quit most of the time it works out for the better and invigorates their career. I can't imagine being my age (59) and having only worked a few places and worrying about a job.
