Today, my boss let go the nicest of the nicest, the most pro of the pros, the lady who trained me. It was traumatic, I shit you not. The saddest part, and to answer your other questions...I *am* safe, as my boss finds me indispensible. The people he's laying off are the ones that I proposed, because it had the most minimal effect on running the business based on job descriptions, and how much of their tasks could be absorbed by those of us who remain. So in the end, *I'm* the one who selected the losers, based on no criteria other than business. It is perhaps the most immoral thing I've ever done in my life - and that includes having fucked my cousin once - so you know how shitty I feel now. In my defense, I told my boss what the pure business course should be, and then I also told him what the moral course would be. The moral course left *me* out of a job, BTW, because Cheryl, the lady who got laid off today, had ten years on the job, and was stellar in every way. I've been there only 3.5 years now, albeit at what was once a separate branch from Cheryl's. This has been a really, really shitty week.
