To all of you unfortunate enough to have been laid off, fear not, life will go on. I know that sounds easy enough to say but I have been in your shoes. BHI "laid me off" 10 years ago (they fired me because I was a free thinker). I was an engineer and had 23 years of experience in the market segment my division participated in. It was the first time in my life I had ever been fired. It was devastating. This is the third job I have had since leaving them. I have been highly thought of everywhere I have worked since. It was their loss. I am happy and paid well enough and I have not had to put up with the BHI politics that was so prevalent.
You will ALL find other places to work if you want to. And hopefully most will be a lot more satisfied with the new jobs you get. Your new job now is to find a new job. Get to work. And good luck.
