It's been awhile now, but I vividly remember being let go from my job where I'd worked (and sweated and bled) for 11 years.  They claimed it was due to downsizing.
That's really hard!  I'm sure that was disappointing after putting in so many years.  Sorry.
It was, but honestly it was the best thing for my family.  I had just told them that I was pregnant with my 2nd child and I truly think they did not want to share me with the family I was creating.
Wow.  Well, if that was the culture and climate of that workplace, you are definitely better off not working for them.  Very sad.
