I got a call from friends a few days ago concerning another round of layoffs by AT&T. One person called me crying stating they did not understand how they were going to be able to make it. I was laid off by AT&T in January 2009 and even though I had no idea what I was going to do to bring income into the household I was happy about the situation. I told my friend to first of all take a deep breath and understand that it is not personal. It really is not. There just comes a time when corporations need to downsize and relieve themselves of older workers and that time is apparently now in this current economy. To be fair to the company when I was laid off there were older and younger workers affected by the move I’m just not sure if that is still the case.
