Major Layoffs At Work
I’m not going to go into detail because I don’t like to share private information here on my blog… but three people were laid off at my work last week. It’s horrible. One of them directly affects me because it was my boss.
I love my boss, as a boss and as a friend. And my heart broke to see her go. Fortunately our friendship will keep us in contact and is more valuable that the work relationship anyway. And she is in good spirits. In a way, it’s an opportunity for her, some relaxing time off, and some decisions for the days ahead. She’s an amazing woman, smart, and has a lot of knowledge so she should be able to get another job pretty fast.. if she wants to. 
However, for those of us left at work, we’ll be moved back under the boss I left a couple of years ago. And I won’t go into detail about that, either. But suffice it to say that I was very happy being under my friend/boss for the last two years. And some things will probably change now, changes that I won’t like much. Maybe some wholesale programs will be cut.
Anyway, the dogs keep me happy, and life goes on. And I guess it’s good that I still have my job. Four years and two months and I can retire. I’m hoping for September of 2013. The time really will fly, I’m sure.
