TRANSLATION: “We fired the expensive people and promoted some of you to take their place. We’re not paying you nearly as much as them, going to work you longer hours, but at least you got the word ‘Director’ in your title.”

Follow up post to my last post…My husband was laid off from the company where I also work. I am feeling really isolated / depressed about working and moving forward. I’m also getting to a stage where I’m really sad that people haven’t reached out to either my husband or myself to send well wishes or provide support. It’s like they don’t know what to say or I make them feel awkward so they don’t bother…I’m trying to focus on a few that have been supportive but it’s hard…Any words of advice? 😞
