Oh its that time of year again...the possible layoffs right at the holidays. Its the end of the calendar year, or the middle of fiscal year, depending on where you work. Companies are tightening their budgets and everyone's holding their breath. And if you make it through the holidays, you have to pray that your company made their holiday sales figures. It is the way of the world.
I loved my days at BSpan. Its been years since I left...but it still holds a big place in my heart. Today I learned about BIG layoffs. These people have been there FOREVER. That's scary to me. They were in an OLD business...that was getting older fast with the introduction of Amazon, Big Box Stores and Ebooks. Now what?
Well I'm at Elastic. We are on the same cyclic calendar as every other company. I am praying as hard as anyone else... You just have to. No matter how well you prepare mentally, it is always a surprise.
CHRISTMAS QUOTE:
May all your dreams come true. May love work its magic into your life.
May your heart be filled with hope and joy. May you touch every life you
meet. Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year.
