The general consensus of the current state of the economy is that the worst is over. The recession has bottomed out and we can expect to make a slow but steady recovery. I for one, work in a place of employment that unfortunately had to lay-off its fair share of dedicated workers. Our office is small enough that no absence goes unfelt. However, now that we find ourselves in the tail-end of Q1 2010, it turns out we had a better year than we thought.
As a good indication that things are heading back in the right direction, bonus checks were handed out this week. I admit to breathing a sigh of relief, as I went from worrying about job security to being handed a wad of cash, so to speak. Though, as I took my check to the bank, I couldn’t help but feel some guilt and sorrow for my fallen comrades that may be struggling out there to put food on the table for their children. Which brings up an interesting question, how much would we be willing to sacrifice in order to ensure the survival of others?
