Unsettling News

Late last week, 500 people were laid off from Home Depot headquarters (SSC) where I used to work. Most of the cuts were in Information Technology so that means a good number of my friends and former co-workers were among those to lose their jobs. I don't have a complete list yet of those let go but of the names I have heard, the folks were all good hard workers, people I was able to count on when I was trying to get a job done. Sad times...

That's always the way with layoffs...the people who get the ax are the hard workers who have put in their time and are dependable. Wouldn't be nearly so upsetting if they just laid off the slackers who deserved to lose their jobs, but those are the people getting promoted instead!
