This most recent layoff is so far turning out to be the easiest to mentally grieve, because I went in not trusting I'd still have a job in short time, and shockingly it turned out exactly as I expected, despite my effort to the contrary. I'm so detached from the idea of job security it's literally laughable, and the market is so bad I just don't even feel like wasting my time trying to get anything.
Throughout the first few months though, it was all "move to X" this, and "we'll sponsor you and your spouse" that. I didn't trust it, because I've been through the meat grinder before. But almost a year in I decided to visit the town where their office was overseas and start a very arms length effort to feel it out. It was interesting to see how immediately upon arrival back, tensions soured between my pathetically toxic manager and I, then after a bad first quarter I was gone.
Sad, because my lady was excited about the prospect of moving, but I was less trusting and more cautious, thankfully. RIP that job. I won't move anywhere for a company unless the conditions of the contract are insanely favourable and/or I'm extremely desperate.
That said, if you're looking for someone in Vancouver;)
