Well, that says just about all there is to say about your mind set. Let me tell you something Austin. Every company I've ever worked for, and the one my wife works for now, have a policy regarding layoffs...they tell you five minutes before quitting time on a Friday not to come in Monday. No notice. Nothing. Their reasoning? If you know you'll be out of a job in two weeks you'll try to "get even" with the company. They just assume the worst of you. Then there was a place I worked for back in 2001. Euclid Refinishing. The company fell on hard times. They had to let people go. The owners, Ed and June Yusko, called everyone into the lunchroom...explained the situation and told us we would be out of jobs in two weeks. They said they understood we all had bills to pay and if we needed time off to look for another job, attend an interview, whatever...no problem. The would pay us for any time we missed. Every person in that lunchroom was moved to tears by the kindness, understanding, and generosity of those two people. They treated us like human beings and not some disposable commodity to be thrown away like trash. Some of us found other jobs more quickly than others. But EVERY SINGLE ONE of us stayed at Euclid Refinishing til the very end, and worked as hard as we ever did, because those two people deserved nothing less from us.
You just think about that the next time you show someone the door.
