Arrrrrggggghhhhh...Its Happening AGAIN!

Oh God...survivors guilt during a layoff is HUGE.  But I learned my lesson.  Don't be so quick to  think you are the lucky one who gets to stay.  You never know what's around the corner.

At my last layoff, I made it through the first round, and then I was one of the stragglers that came later.  I had a very false sense of security.  I sure learned the hard way. 

This was a rough week at Elastic. I don't know what to think.  I was just starting to feel good about being employed.  I saw a light at the end of the tunnel with my finances.   I am approaching my 2 year anniversary fully employed.  I know that staying one place for a long time, is not going to be common anymore.

Well, I know what I have to do.  I have to keep my head down...and do my work and if I am next, it is my turn.  I can not let worry drag me under. 


QUOTE OF THE DAY: 

"What you are afraid of is never as bad as what you imagine. The fear you let build up in your mind is worse than the situation that actually exists.”― Spencer Johnson
