Keeping my job...

So my company, along with tons of others this year announced layoffs. It just seems that one company decides to hack its employees and the other ones say, "Hey! That's a great idea! Let's do it now while everyone is doing it!!"

Thankfully, I still have my job. I must say though, it was stressful for me. It's not easy to move on when your employer tells you they are letting you go and there's nothing you did wrong. If companies only laid off employees that were rotten and didn't care about their job then that would be one thing, but to lay off people who are great employees with great potential is a bit unnerving. I know because I have been there and done that.

What's sad is that I know plenty of people all over the US who don't have a job now. That really sucks! And in reality, now is not the time to be looking for a job. My mom always says that it's easier to look for a job when you have one. When you are laid off and job hunting, sometimes you have to settle for whatever comes your way. This is how I see it.

On the other hand, I frequent Monster and Careerbuilder sites and they have tons of jobs posted. I guess it really just depends on the candidate and their skills and qualifications. I am hopeful that the job outlook will get better sooner rather than later. This is definitely me being the optimistic person that I am. It will all work out for the greater good...
