Right, but I think projecting an opposing philosophy onto a rule that fits people for the most part is equally presumptuous. Talented people who are laid off could end up quite demoralized based on what you wrote, sealing their own fate as I pointed out such prophecies can do. I understand that you are trying to provide the other perspective, but you came off as almost apocalyptic. I don't think that sort of perspective is useful at all, except as a means to generate company in one's misery.
- jacquesm 17y agoIt was more of an observation about what is happening to people in my environment than a projection. People are being laid off in droves (talented as wel as not so talented as well as those who were lucky to have a job) and it hurts them and their families for real. Not everybody can move to chase the jobs and not everybody has a list of instantly monetizable pet projects on the shelf. Nor do they have nest eggs. The fat cat bankers that caused this crisis are in a better position than they are and that is sad. The articles suggestion is very misleading, see above (no point repeating my point in yet another comment) for a more realistic approach to getting out of this mess in one piece.
