My friend John was let go by his advertising agency today. After 12 years of service and good work! He was completely blindsided by this.
I know it was a difficult move for his agency to make, as many of the people in management like him personally, but right now I just want to go over there and yell, "FUCK YOU!"
He is my friend. He is of fragile health. He is 58 years old.
Plus, today is Sir Paul's birthday. Is canning people really the way we should celebrate a global treasure?
These are the thoughts and observations of me — a woman of a certain age. (Oh, my, God, I'm 65!) I'm single. I'm successful enough (independent, self supporting). I live just outside Chicago, the best city in the world. I'm an aunt and a friend. I feel that voices like mine are rather underrepresented online or in print. So here I am. If my musings resonate with you, please visit my blog again sometime.

i am so sorry for you friend. the job market really does stink. just because you are good at your job...doesn't count for anything anymore.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry John lost his job, what a terrible blow.
ReplyDeleteThat's awful. I can't imagine what a blow that is to him...and to you.
