Most corporate decisions that are so sweeping are just the end of a long line of bad decisions. I lost my last job because I was loyal to a boss that wasn't liked by the higher-ups. Not because of me. It's hard to remind yourself of that I'm sure!!!

After 2 years of only temp work, I'm back in a new job--higher position w/about the same salary. Just be persistent in your search-you never know when the right job will crop up.
