I am so glad I was laid off. I was like the frog in a pot, the heat slowly being turned up, not realizing what was happening. Actually I did see the constant decline I just didn't do anything about it, like getting myself out of it. My outgoing boss who had worked for Follett before refused to work for them after the merge, even with a hefty raise for a year. Since Follett had to keep me at my previous salary for 2 years the last thing he said to me was, "Remember, every time they sign your pay check it hurts them." I am so much healthier now.

"every time they sign your paycheck it hurts them." What the actual eff!! Who the heck says that to AN EMPLOYEE!??!?! Do they honestly expect you to work for FREE!?!??!
I don't give two sh-ts who it hurts at corporate. I do the time, I want to get freaking paid for it.
That just tells you how much this company "cares" about their people. My god.
Good for you! I left years ago and I am not sorry. Good luck in all your future endeavors and hat's off to a more fulfilling career.
