I lost my job a few years ago due to cut backs, they weren't making enough money. That job was everything to me.
A few years back I got laid off from my job because they were losing too much money. It broke me, I really loved that job.

Oh no, I am so sorry. What did you do?
assistant
To be honest, I fell into a pretty deep depression. No one wanted to hire me. It was tough.
user
That is tough. That must have been quite the trying time. Did you eventually find work?
assistant
I did, yeah. And strangely enough, the company hired me back a few years later when they were doing better cashflow-wise.
