Thread regarding Devon Energy Corp. layoffs

Being laid off sucks

Stories suck. Being laid off sucks. Knowing you worked your ass off for what seems to be nothing, sucks. Yet I know it's the company who has to survive. Laying off people isn't what they want. It isn't what they enjoy doing.

So fighting back, for what? They aren't fighting. They are trying to survive. Yet, I have commented here before, sure I'm bitter. I hate what they did to my family. But in the end it will be for the best of us.

Do you feel like being miserable? Feeling like your 8 hours aren't enough time to do the things you need to do? Leaving people hanging because you have 11 cases thrown at you but you made commitments to call 5 others you know you won't be able to keep?

Do you want to feel like a failure, mostly, and end your day with a transfer because you couldn't figure it out in the last 15 minutes you had?

Does that something you want to do? Sure you're passionate. Sure you want to find the answer to this riddle. You'd feel liberated! But that takes time. Research. Something called a luxury. So think again. Do you want to fight back?

Or do you just want to find something else where you are happy? Deal with this lemon you got and make lemonade and then enjoy it. You who've stayed are awesome. You who've left are awesome.

It was a family and though you don't know who's writing this you are all brothers and sisters to me and I wish you all the best of luck with what you have and what you will get. Each one made a difference!

Each one is unique. Each one has their own way of getting to the bottom. Every single one will be great! Believe in yourself! That's why you were hired to begin with. The end!

and when you are over the grief, anger, and bitterness....look in the mirror and ask that person what you could have done better. If the answer is nothing, you are fooling yourself. I have been laid off twice 10 years apart and there were lessons learned each time. humbling for sure. Good luck to all.
