Hey @gayleggg. I've been both laid off and survived layoffs. Neither is fun. I'm going to take this as a gentle hint that I need to focus a bit more on my career, skills, networking, etc. I don't have a lot of respect for my company right now, so can use the leftover energy to help me get better.

Hopefully the rest of my department will take the same action and prepare themselves for whatever may come. A lot of them have been here forever and haven't even tried to improve their skills. Won't be a good day for them, but they have time now. The rosey glow has warn off for them. I hope.
