[quote=Anonymous]I would say this thread does NOT help with coping with despair. Some of y'all are being jerks. When my friends and family in the private sector have been laid off, I've been sympathetic! I've listened to them and tried to pass on job leads! I didn't tell them that someone else had it worse so why should they be spared, because I have empathy. And this isn't entirely good faith - my mom likes to talk about how private sector work means constant layoffs, but my dad worked 35 years in the same industry job and retired with a great pension, it's not some kind of universal experience. Similarly, I know feds who've been laid off through RIFs from the 2013/2014 sequester, it's not guaranteed employment for life. [/quote]
