It's always sad to hear about colleagues and people losing their jobs. It's even worse when it's just before Christmas.
The biggest news story just east of where I live is that General Motors (GM) has decided to close its Oshawa plant in 2019, which means that all workers at this plant will be unemployed. It's sad, as Oshawa is the home of so many GM employees who moved to this city to work.
I used to have a Pontiac Grand Am. I thought that my next car would be a Pontiac G6 until the entire Pontiac line got canned. GM hasn't fully recovered since the late 2000's.
This week, my company found out that pink slips have been issued to folks out of our Montreal office. On my team, we are losing three decent people, two of whom I have met and trained. It's just a sad situation and I can only offer to help if they need any references from me.
It sucks that they are losing their jobs right before Christmas.
Any time you loose your job sucks of course. It just seems worse before Christmas. I hope all bosses reread "A Christmas Carol" once more before they let their people go....

I hope so, too. Sadly, I find that some folks aren't as compassionate working in higher management positions.
