The first time I was laid off but returned two years later.
The second time was my choice, but I returned about 2 years later again.
I'm treated very well. My management team even through this mess which will cost us tens of millions of dollars has told me to stop working and go to bed several times when I've pushed through. I have a hard time sleeping when I know we're losing so much money in lost business and fines. I'm old but I'm not lazy and I'll always fight the battles as strongly as I can..
