He said that he was sorry but I was caught up in a downsizing action and he stood up and walked out of the room and left me standing in a stupor looking at the slip. I felt devastated as I had a wife and 2 kids and a mortgage. I know you must be feeling at this time but if you persevere and do what you have to do to make it, you will make it and you will ultimately find yourself in a better position.
Thanks man. I know the stupor you're talking about. I think my legs almost gave out from the shock.
