I was one of those who attempted to earn one of the few jobs that would remain, only to be told I wasn't what the Big A was currently looking for. As it turned out - none of us were. We, too, had a celebratory party, "At least I won't have to deal with the new LMS!" The survivors (less experienced) wept for their beloved team members.<br />Twelve numbing days passed before I received the call. "Did you receive the severance check yet? Don't cash it." <br />I returned to work feeling that I deserved my job. That someone had finally recognized the mistake. Of course, they wouldn't have been able to do it if not for the survivor who later quit, leaving one headcount open.<br />And now I go to work, each day, knowing how close I was to that very tall wall that one can not see beyond. And nearly every day, something comes up that makes me think about my friends. The ones who eat their week day lunches somewhere else. Our story at the Big A is similar.

I can certainly relate to the half-life you wrote about. I think this must be what purgatory is like.<br />Staci Wow Kevin….This was very moving!
