Today my company decided to lay off 14% of its global workforce. The cuts went from VP level all the way down to the workers. I think the math works out to about 2200 families lost their primary income today.

I was among the 86% that still have a job to go to. I expected this, and was prepared either way - but I have also been making moves over the past 2-3 years that would increase my chances of being chosen to stay.

I expect there will be a lot of opportunities that arise over the next few months of reorganization. I'm also ready to take advantage of those.

Don't be complacent. Fiat mining doesn't reward complacency.

(In good news, my old nemesis, the boss of my former boss, got the axe. So did her boss. No fucks given here)
