There were a bunch of layoffs at my job. I was so happy to see that I was one of the few people that got to keep their job.
Last week the plant I work at was hit with massive layoffs.

I was fortunate enough to be one of the very few who got to keep their job, I am happy but very sad for the others.

I understand. Layoffs are hard. My brother in law has been through a lot of those at factories!
