How frequently do people actually get fired? In two years I've seen two associates and one VP get the boot from my BB coverage group. Typical?

People have usually been a lot happier after being laid off. Most take vacations for 2-3 months, hunt for a job for a month or so, then back at it within 4-5 months of being laid off.

I read to the kids a book that ended with a line like, "If it was a good story, start all over."I told the kids I really only did that once in my life regarding a book about a teacher going to teach in Africa. In reality it was about a missionary. I hid the name of it and what it really was about. In other instances I've also explained the meaning of life is to love sacrificialy without telling them the source. I feel guilty hiding the Truth. How do you speak the Truth without being fired?
