I think I need to see this movie. Getting fired or laid off or just losing a job is never pleasant. Most people I know draw their identity by "what they do" not who they are. That is a whole other topic. Rob Marianne,

You are so right. I think I need to see this movie. Getting fired or laid off or just losing a job is never pleasant. Most people I know draw their identity by “what they do” not who they are. That is a whole other topic.

One man reacted as expected with a lot of anger. It is the worst job in the world to tell someone they no longer have a job. It's even worse for them to hear it. He wrote me a letter 5 years later and thanked me for laying him off. It got him out of a rut and he found the right niche for him. It is an amazing letter that I still pull out every once in a while...Diane. I had to lay off some staff many years ago. One man reacted as expected with a lot of anger.
