Getting laid off is never fun, and has always been a big fear for me. I went through it about 12 years ago now, after working at the same company for almost 8 years (they decided to close the doors due to poor sales). And at the time it felt like the worst thing that could ever happen, esp. since I was a single mom and the sole income-earner...plus it couldn't have happened at a worse time...a week before Christmas, and a few weeks after there had been really hefty cuts in the govt - which meant heavy competition for work. But you know, it turned out to be a blessing in disguise. It took a while to see that, but because I got laid off, it led to me getting out of retail (which I hated...I'm not a retail-type person) and I wound up with a job I love. It didn't happen overnight, but hang in there...I really do hope (and I really do believe) that this will lead to you finding something even better.
