Thought for the day, 27 September 2024
Being laid off is horrific in a way that's hard to explain to those who haven't been there.
If you're lucky, you'll find something else soon: mostly your self-worth and your sense of security will suffer.
If you're unlucky, the panic to find the rent - we can't have landlords going without - will feel so desperate that self-worth and a sense of security will feel like a luxury.
The only thing worse? When your whole town - whānau and whenua, history and future - gets laid off together.
'Redundant' means 'no longer needed or useful; superfluous'.
That describes no person I ever met - only the system that discarded them.
