fellow coworkers

Pay attention to the needs of the coworkers who were laid off. These are your friends and they are experiencing serious issues with self-worth and loss, too. So many people tie up so much of their identity and self esteem in what they do for a living that a layoff is a major blow to their sense of themselves, their competence and self worth. You do them a kindness, and you will feel better, too, if you continue your weekly lunch date with your laid off coworker. Let your laid off former coworker vent and listen to see how you can lend support. Sometimes, active listening is all they need.
 






Offer a dirty MCDonalds application/placemat instead.
On second thought, just give them the whole mostly eaten bag.

No mercy for the weak. They do not deserve it.

This is America!

Crush your colleagues. Look out for Number 1!
 


















My question is, if they are out of work how can they afford to go out to eat lunch? Even the ones that are still working are pinching pennies--no vacation time/pay, no sick time, no insurance.
