For most people when they loose their job it can be devastation for most Americans live paycheck to paycheck. Consider how your attitude towards work would be if you have 2 years of expenses in cash in
a "I might get fired account". The answer is simple, you would think 24/7 YOU are the boss. None the less, loss no matter where or when it happens is a bitter pill to swallow. The older the worse it is. We all seem to want to be attached in some form or fashion. I never allow attachments so for me loss is no big deal. I guess my trade off is the warm fuzzy feeling you get when you attach VS. the devastation of loosing down the road.
Juan Williams was fired this week from NPR for what they thought was off color comments about Muslims.
You can debate this all day. Political motivations, rights of employers with contract workers, decent things to say and do in the work place but at the end of the day Juan had a loss.EGO real bruised as he is a very likable man on national TV. Financially he did better as FOX stepped up and gave him a new contract and his EGO will be eased by the out pouring of affection of so many.
At the end of the day it is still about attachments. If he gets into the warm and fuzzy bed with FOX stay tuned. I don't advocate this HARD distance between people and the forming of relationships.
I just say make sure you have lots of money in the bank and work each day like it is your last!
