firecatI'm incredibly fortunate never to have been laid off or fired, but many people close to me have, and this quote really speaks to me:
http://www.motherjones.org/interview/2006/06/ehrenreich.html
BE: There's a huge stigma attached to unemployment. People who have been laid off are very ashamed and depressed. There's a need to come together and overcome that shame. In those early meetings in the feminist movement of the seventies, people were ashamed to talk about having been raped. They were ashamed to talk about having been molested as a child. To be able to say that has happened to other people proved transforming. So let's bring it out, let's see what the problem is here.
TE: Isn't this the problem without a name again?
BE: Exactly. So I see the need for something at the same level of emotional involvement as in the early women's movement.

he says: rather like a full-time employment for them!
a month later, following some funny logic of fate i was dismissed from this trash after full 5 years in employment.
it's been ok since, i got a new job. blogging is good enough.
