I know this is a bad economy. I was laid off in 2008. It was tough to find a job then and it is tough to find a job now.
With that said, being laid off was the best thing that ever happened to me. I thought I was making decent money at Novartis. What I was doing was trading my self respect, my quality of life and my general happiness for a job that I hated. I was trapped by the fear of change and what I thought was a lot of money.
I went through a time where I was on unemployment and was looking hard for a job. Guess what? I found one, I love it and I never looked back. I make a lot more now than I did then, my company treats me with respect and my private life has improved because I am not unhappy at work.
I know the next few months will be stressful, but hang in there, your life is about to get better.
