Okay, well… just to clear the air… I wasn’t let go and still have my full time job.

However, the company I currently work for had a “mini” layoff or as our upper management calls it a RIF. (Reduction In Force) The primary reason was for P&L purposes. Meaning, our sales had/were down and we had to manage expenses. It’s actually a pretty standard thing these days. Fortunately, the cuts weren’t that deep.

Even though I wasn’t directly involved, as a manager of people and involved in affecting peoples lives, it’s still hard to take. Plus, the dark cloud that sits over the office doesn’t exactly make one productive.
