What’s your point?[/quote]
same as OPs, just a vent[/quote]

Gotcha. Sorry for all of your layoffs. I’m seeing/hearing a lot of people dismiss the feelings of recently laid off workers. It hits hard. I’ve seen it have some tragic effects on the remaining years of older employees.[/quote]

Yeah, it can hit hard, and of course, people choose government work for it's stability.  It's mission never changes.  But big corporate life is different.  There's constant mergers, buyouts, and CEOs with new visions.  That leads to redundancy, relocations, and no longer needed or wanted.  My 2010s lay off is because some Lockheed Pres decided they had too much rented space (and they did).  And if you live/d along the 270 corridor, that's when you saw all of Lockheed disappear along there.  They actually wanted me to move across the country but couldn't cuz of DH job and kids in HS.[/quote]
