I Feel Your Pain

Today, I had a former employee call in to ask me how he could come back to the company. I felt very bad for him because of the reason he was discharged. I could tell from his voice he was depressed. He said he has been looking for work since his dismissal in the fall, yet we are in a slow job market.

Although, I was not downsized I do feel his pain. I could hear the desperation in his voice. He wants to work but, he just can't find anything.

I guess I feel his plight so much because of how long it took me to find this position. I have noticed that people that call and ask me for help I go above and beyond to help them. I give them pointers and contacts. Hey, I am paying it forward, just like some people did for me.
