It’s tough to know whether to say “sorry you had to take a cut” or “congrats on getting something”, you know?

Thanks for reading!

I have been there. Early 2008, I lost my position as an executive assistant at $55,500 a year. I had an emergency fund, savings, and unemployment coming in for all the weeks I was allowed. This was the beginning of the layoffs. No one could have guessed that the layoffs would continue at the rate they did or be so deep, I didn’t worry about finding another position until three months had gone, then six months, then almost nine months. I had a few interviews but I wasn’t getting the calls, or reach backs I expected. Then I was desperate, I started working as a temp until I found a full time position. I finally was offered one at almost $15,000 less than I was making before. I sympathize with those men and everyone looking for work. I have been there.
