"The hard truth is that, when I happen to talk about this (not unique, by any stretch of the imagination) perspective with anybody whose brain is endowed with at least one gray cell, I always see heads nodding in agreement." Have you been listening to our morning coffee talks? 😅

I've seen many hard-working people being let go in downsizing and RIF (reduction in force) measures because it suited a business plan. Hard-working employees one day, unemployed the next. The current form of Capitalism will run its course and be replaced by the next exclusive Club. C'est la vie.

Thank you for reading this, Alexander! This is one of my early pieces, back when I didn't write any autofiction yet. I appreciate you comment!

Thinking about producing proof to get admitted into something, and once in, maintaining our enrollment is probably the most frustrating aspect of being a social creature... love this post!
