Layoff Heartache
During the past, hmm let’s see, gosh it’s been so long and feels even longer since I was laid off. It’s actually been almost 6 months. The time seems longer because during these past months I’ve had to make the hardest decisions of my life. I’ve made decisions about the short sale of my home, a fight with the bank not to force me to foreclosure, credit card companies jacking my interest rate from 4% to 32% which will now force me to another decision debt consolidation or charge off.
The toughest decision by far has been to bolster myself to go on. To wake up each day and continue to put myself out there and find a job. To brush aside my aching heart, smile and focus on the priority of straightening things out so my future isn’t totally shot. Amidst all of this, I force myself to try let go of my anger towards my ex-boss who laid me off as part of a political move and taking advantage of the down-turn economy. It was the only way she could convice the executives to let me go without being open to a lawsuit.
Because of her, my entire present AND future are destroyed. My wish, other than winning the lotto, is that she is visited with the same breakdown on her way of life. I believe in the fates and what goes around comes around and this certainly will be an occassion I hope to hear about.
It may be bitter but regrettably my poor attitude is the truth.

I feel your anger and pain. I myself went through a simular situation. I believe that saying, what comes around goes around. I wish my ex-boss can go threw the same heartache and turmol as I did. Its all a game, a power struggle.
