Some laughed when Ole' Joe talked about dignity

 

Way off topic here. Someone I used to work with just informed of being laid off from a very large and well known high tech company. When something like that happens, it's a gut punch. Especially if you were a super loyal employee, put in the long hours, sang the praises of the company and now they do this to you!

Some people laughed when ex-President Joe Biden spoke about workers having dignity because they have a job. How true. When the company you were loyal to throws you out like so much excess trash, you lose all sense of being a useful human being. You lose your dignity. You lose your sense of self worth.

A number of recent posts by others lament over the situation . See the below More to Explore.
