That sick feeling
Work today was a experience that I never want to have again. What makes it worse is that I will probably have the same experience several times throughout my life.
We had to lay off two really cool employees. Somehow I
knew that something like this was going to happen after the news that we lost one of out major customers.
I felt all knotted up inside when I saw their manager go over to their desks to deliver the bad news and supervise their departure. I don't know why their departure affected me the way it did, and I feel terrible for thinking up ways we could repurpose their desktop machines. Still, they are gone, and not because of anything that they did. Something about that offends my sense of fairness. Life isn't fair, but that unfair? I hope that they don't have too much trouble finding employment. They shouldn't since they were pretty good techs.
