Laid off 11.11.2010 never came back from it

[slightlv]

10. For me, it's regret, depression, frustration, and lots of anger!

After about 3 years, it's begun to calm down, especially now since I feel the need to look after my ageing husband even closer. But I LOVED my job, loved what I was doing, loved my coworkers, and loved the National Guard and Reserve students I worked with, both locally and overseas. What took me out was disability and asking for 2 days remote work, even tho working at the office or at home meant I was working on WiFi. I just got more done at home... and I could do it in my own hours, laying down to rest as I needed. I just ended up eventually having a manager who was conflict-averse. I did wonder how he made through the Army with that attitude, or maybe it was women he had a problem with... (sigh)

I finally determined one aspect of my resentment came from not feeling needed anymore... that's why I think it's lightened up some now that hubby needs me more, and my grandson has also moved in. I have people to look after, and that does make a difference for me. I gave up looking for a job (more or less)... the only one I checked out turned out to be a damned scam. I figure when you can no longer trust the damned headhunters, the world doesn't need me!
