We're all in this together

The firing last week really affected me and the coming lay offs are too. Talking to other friends, I realized that a lot of people are going through the same thing. I know we are in a recession and thousands of Americans are unemployed. The magnitude of it didn't hit me until I saw it happening first hand. I was pretty down last week and I felt the whole mood of my workplace get even lower than it was before. I told my friends how I was feeling, and they told me that they also saw people getting fired or laid off, and it's affected everyone in their workplace too. The reality hit me. Everywhere, people are losing their jobs. Morale is low in every office across America. It's a little comforting to know that I'm not alone in how I'm feeling, although it sucks more for the people on the other side who are jobless....
