For those who think this is insensitive to say this, no one is celebrating our anniversary team being laid off. This does not help anyone, it’s quite a lot more work we face every time and I think the point is we would step into that place for that colleague any day but that’s not how it works…and no, we’re not brave enough to leave on our own. It’s not insensitive to regret that our team mates are leaving, it truly sucks and no won wins here. Those left behind ready to face a layoff get more work, those who wanted to go stay behind. Yes, we can get new jobs and we’re fortunate in theory, but a voluntary sep would be more useful…but that failed last time when so many said yes.
