For all those who can put two and two together... and have read the news lately esp. dealing with a certain big box retailer and might be slightly worried about me... I am fine and still have a job.
However, a lot of dear friends of mine are either leaving the company, or currently trying to find a new spot within the company and are dealing with a lot of heartache right now.
It has been a difficult week for us all, and I truly understand the devastation that come with losing your job. I went through it when Macy's consolidated all of their headquarters to just New York... and then found out I was pregnant with Emily.
Bryan has gone through it when his company outsourced his job two weeks after Emily was born... and did I mention that we were going through voluntary layoffs at that time as well (I got that call 2 days after Emily was born).
So yeah, I totally understand the uncertainty, the yuckiness, not wanting to talk to anyone and just feeling lost and undervalued. But none of this makes it better for those affected. It just doesn't.
It doesn't help to tell anyone - it will all work out - just wait and see. Even if in the end it is the best thing that has ever happened to them.
Right now the best thing to say is probably nothing or in many cases... you will be missed.
