Laid off
Third time in 22 years
No gold watch
Gut wrenched with unemployment fears
Blood sweat and tears
Is what I gave my job
The level of care and respect that I gave
Was not returned beyond getting paid
Employed at will
Updating my resume to promote my skill
Fifth company in two decades of corporate American careers
Hard to say where I’ll be in 5 years
I could mortgage my house and start a business or app
Pitch my dream on Shark tank and they’d say it’s crap
So it’s back to the interview/relocate/new job/industry process
Older and more desperate unemployed with stress
