Default I'm About to Be LAYED OFF.......

Having one job for the rest of your life? Job security in this day and age? Yeah right! I found out on Friday that me and my coworkers (we work in IT) will be laid off and IBM (who we thought we were being outsourced to) decided not bring us over - why? Because they don't want to pay us! They want to bring temps/contractors/new folks to do our jobs, jobs that we've been doing for the past 5-8 years. What sense does it make to bring in someone new to do something you know how to do and they don't? Initially, I was upset but I thought about it and then I started think about how I'll now have more time to get my website up and running and I'll be taking some time off, I can take it easy and do that. Then I started getting excited about it realizing that something else is going to happen for me and you know what? I'm going to make it happen. These companies and corporations don't care about their people, we're all just a number to them, a cost to them so BUMP em!

Things happen for a reason, I firmly believe that now.
