My wife and I went to see the movie The Company Men starring Ben Afflect, Chris Cooper, Kevin Costner, Maria Bello, Rosemarie Dewitt, Craig T. Nelson, and Tommy Lee Jones. The movie depicts the interactions of employees and their families who worked for a large organization in the 1990s that laid-off many employees because of the recession.
Having going through a similar experience myself, we were able to relate to the feelings and frustrations of the characters. Loss of a job is like losing part of your life. Dealing with such situation is a serious challenge. The movie depicts how an individual with job loss is supported or not supported by his family and friends. The movie ends with good and bad news, but it is very intense and worth your time to view.
For those of you weary of job seeking, perhaps the movie will let you know that your emotions are shared by many in similar situations. I think that the support of family and friends is critical to your being able to deal with the circumstances and hopefully lead to a happy ending.
Please share your feelings about your job loss and the support you have received with readers of this blog.
Thanks! Glyn
