“Relief.” “At peace.” “Not too devastated.” That’s how some recently laid-off workers view losing their jobs, despite mass layoffs and constant recession fears. Instead, some see it as a chance to break up w/the 9-to-5 and reset their lives and careers.

Jennifer Coolidge’s speech was perfect: “I had such big dreams as a young person, but what happens is they get sort of fizzled by life. Mike White, you gave me a new beginning, even though this is the end, 'cause you did kill me off. Even if this is the end, you changed my life”
