我被裁掉的那一天下午,在咖啡馆等丈夫来接,也顺便读lay-off的package。一对老
两口在旁边坐下,我开始没有注意他们的谈话。无意间听到有人说“你看她那么认
真的工作,我们一定吵到她了”,抬起头老人正笑眯眯的看着我。我不禁笑了,看
了看手里的文件,说“不碍事的,工作刚没了,所以不急的”。老人很关心的问是
那家公司,作什么的。我不太喜欢当时的工作,丢掉时不开心,也不算很难过。所
以我们的谈话很中性,无外是现在的经济,今后的打算之类的。交谈的几分钟里,
老太太微笑着没有插话,后来,在离开时,才发现老太太的眼里竟含着眼泪。大概
母亲的心是通的,她一定在想我远在异地的母亲听到这个消息时的感觉。那一刻,
我很感动。

刚刚看完14号的The Ottawa Citizen, F 版--------After Nortel's crash,~~~Six Laid-off workers tell their stories.
感觉到心里的沉重,更被其中一个在Nortel工作了24年的人所震撼,他曾经part-time开校车,后来经过严格筛选和培训,现在成为OC Transpo的司机……
另一个说:If I had to advise people being laid off, I would encourage them to try some new experienc and to look outsid of what they have done in the pase. It's important to look at your skill s and what you want from life and formulate what you do from there. In the short term, I can't see high tech turning around so why rest your immediate future on something coming back that may take years? Anyway, historically things don't go back to what they were like before. So, I would say to them: Look at the world as being different and give up the idea of having the same comfort level you had when you were at Nortel. Your world has changed.---------这话说的悲壮,又恳切。
我本人不干高科技,但完全可以理解从一个高回报的行业里走出来,要面对越发恶劣的就业环境会是一种什么样的对自我价值的怀疑和沮丧。

被lay off 了,尽管是份并不喜欢的part time job,还是在家郁闷了2天。昨天出去走走,有雨后清新的空气,有绿草,有陌生的路人对我说”你好“---- 加拿大是一个美丽而和善的国家。打起精神今天开始找工作并申请EI.
