Yesterday, another 30 or so of my coworkers were laid off. We lost 12 of our field investigators and the various departments were mandated to cut at least 10%. People's who case work numbers were not up to par or those who were the 'last-in' were cut.
Sometimes I scare myself, because if I remember correctly, that's the reason I postponed my November trip to Brazil. I had a feeling that the ax would fall again. Luckily, it missed me again. I felt bad once again, saying goodbye to my favorite supervisor and to the new friends I have made on the floor since I moved into their midst. They have all been very receptive towards me.
I got the list late in the day Friday, so on Monday I'll have to get busy at working to retrieve our materials and equipment. It will be an easier task, being the 4th time I do this, this year. Once was the big layoff in January, second was the contract shut down in February, third was another little layoff in April and now this one. One of the other managers said to me in passing "this cut was so deep, now we are down to marrow."
I prayed that those affected would be OK and the young people with families will bounce back.
God bless them all.

It's very disconcerting to see things like this happen in the workplace. I hope it works out for the best for all concerned.
