I went and got our closing cashiers check today as we buy our first house on friday. This was about three hours after I learned that 5 people in the department next to mine got laid off. Neat!
I knew our firm was doing some of this but damn, I didn’t expect them to get rid of 40% of a department. My boss keeps saying she thinks we are fine but the manager of the department where layoffs happened was appparently crying yesterday so I don’t think department managers are getting much say. We recently hired an upper level officer and I hadn’t looked too much at her experience; but today I took a second look and it turns out her favorite past time is laying people off. She stays places two years and moves on.
Im not going to do anything too drastic but it’s a good reminder to get my financial shit together. And work on my resume.

Back in September, I bought the CX-3, the next week, my wife’s company closed the whole branch.
Woo!

So what you’re saying is that it takes one woman to do the work of two Bobs, isn’t it?

Ive noticed upper level hires, shakeups, fires and leaves are fairly common. Seen it plenty of times. Outside hire brings in higher level manager/officer, BIG shakeup ensues- firing happens, the fat is trimmed and everyone else operates at 135% efficiency to prove their worth and avoid the trimming. Officer gladly accepts their salary for a year or two, any corporate bonuses received due to goals met then move on to another company to do the same.

I’m trying to remind myself that I don’t need to prove anything or be anyone I’m not. Honestly, our department would be slammed if they got rid of 1/3 of the positions I’m in, let alone 2 but who am I to say.

It’s all good. That’s life.
I hope that you don’t get laid off and that your recently laid off chums are ok. Life is tough, but things will always get better.
