And then all of a sudden, they had to do layoffs.

And they had gone through all the low performers.

So they did something like five rounds of layoffs.

It was a lot.

They kept cutting people and cutting people and cutting people.

And so all the low performers were gone.

But they reached the point where they still had to cut more people.

And they laid me off.

And I really couldn't understand why.

I'm like, well, how can this happen when I'm ranked in the top 10% every single year, including this year?

I don't get it.

And I think what it came down to was just that loyalty of the leadership.

We had had this merger.

So a bunch of people came over with that.

And we had had...

People say, you know, like I didn't know those people.

They didn't know me, even though they could probably see my evaluations.

They didn't know who I was or have any of the history.

And I didn't have time to develop that with them.

So they just chose me to get rid of me because they didn't know me and they were going to keep the people they knew and liked.
