I got laid off from a job I had for 10 years. It’s a large company and my manager didn’t know it was coming. When telling me they started choking up. I assured him that I’d be fine and that “no-one had died”. Since then I have found a new gig that pays more.
For some reason, I’m kinda frustrated with having spent emotional energy comforting the manger who was laying me off. I was the one who had to figure out how to feed my four kids. Am I a selfish psychopath? It’s not his fault he was sad: why am I still angry about his reaction?
