The big boss came to work today and together with the little boss they fired 3 people in the name of bad times.
There were tears and exits reminiscent of mental collapses. Afterward, in an honest coincidence, cake was served on the main floor but no one showed up except for the bosses. Being a person that randomly floats from one job to another through contacts rather than applications and hopes, I felt a bit bad to realize how shattering it must be to get fired from your day job if you're a day job kind of person. The financial crisis wasn't made clearer by the xeroxed sheets that were handed out explaining the bad times in columns of 7 figure numbers. I suppose at the bottom you hardly notice the storms, having no assets, houses, kids or plans the tax deductions dont help and the firings will never hit the dog in the backyard.
