Have you ever been laid off from a job?
In today's economy you probably know someone who is affected by a layoff. How did you cope with being laid off?
I was laid off in 2009 just as the job market was taking a turn for the worse. I was out of work for 5 months, it was very discouraging, depressing, and made me feel as if I did something wrong.
I really have to say I have not ever been laid off, matter of fact I have never even been fired from a job, and I have always left on good terms, when I drove school bus though, I hated the unemployment thing, as I love to work. I feel so bad for anyone that has to be put in that situation. I know people now that are not working, and what they are going through.
