Reading people's layoff notes the last few days, I would like to share some reminders:
1. Work will never love you back.
2. "It isn't personal." Ignore people who say that. Your salary, your sense of purpose and work integrity *are* personal, and when they are taken away without warning, it affects *you* personally, even if the decision to cut your position was only about money.
3. Thinking about your emotions through a job loss as grieving can be helpful.
4. Work will never love you back.
