I hate layoffs. It creates so much social ills and problems for people trying hard to make a living. Companies should learn how to maximize every employee capability to make more profits, rather than cutting costs by laying off to increasing or maintain profits.

Erik, I’ve added you to my Blog Roll. This post and the thoughtful comments hit home. I’ve been laid off throughout my working life and it does hurt. One thing I’ve found that makes the impact less damaging to self-esteem is to take the approach that any day could be the last day. I think it’s a mental adjustment that’s harder for people to make if they worked in the times before “at will’ employment was effected during the 1980s.

A good support network of family and friends is important. So is keeping in mind that there’s always the opportunity to do more and do better. I’ve found that’s a defensive way of thinking but it combats getting too comfortable and complacent in a job.

Layoffs are unfortunate, I had a friend who worked in a HR department and had to layoff 80% of there workforce.
