Be me, 2021, leading a team of energetic people and rebuilding the department I inherited into a productive, dynamic team focused on creating solutions and training up new people. Get awarded employee of the year, get told thanks in part to me that the company will be set to see its strongest earnings ever. Widespread praise and appreciation. Develop strong bonds with team and feel rewarded going to work.
Get laid off suddenly, told that it was part of the deal with selling the company to private equity. It was the plan all along to make the company "appear" profitable and successful so it would fetch highest value. Spend two years unemployed and depressed as covid ravages the working world and nobody wants to hire anyone over about age 28 or so, because it's cheaper to hire younger people willing to fill any role than spend a lot on someone with specialized skills and management experience.
We need to overthrow capitalism guys.
