Shell shock. Waiting for the other shoe to drop. Concern. Anxiety. Angry. Hurt. Lost. Alone.
What happened? The company downsized. And let go of some good people, while keeping the ones who cause the need to downsize. One of the victims slept in his chair the night before because his wife was upset that he had put the company first and gotten up in the middle of the night to go lock up the building. That's gratitude for you.
I wish I would tell the company they were successful. They were successful in demonstrating that honesty, integrity, ethics, experience are not important. They were successful in showing that they value shady dealings, false numbers, blackmail, and the opposite of what most of the world would consider right and upstanding.
Everything we were fighting for is gone. Where do you go from here? What do you do when you land in the exact position you worked so hard to avoid?
I guess you take a moment to breathe, then get up and put one foot in front of the other until you can find a better path.
But still, wow. Really?
