my friend was laid off last june by ibm and still hasn’t found a job

Yeah, sorry if I came across as aloof, I do know that it's tough out there, but I do believe that most people come out ahead after a layoff. But there are still many others who don't, and I do recognize just how lucky I am.

no you didn’t no apology necessary, it’s a very subjective experience and I wanted to share another side of it :)
