2016年5月30日,主管遠從國外飛來台灣親自傳遞台灣團隊裁撤的訊息。在全世界最好的公司經歷人生最糟的體驗,一般人大概很難想像。在講完裁員package(註)和離職日後,當天下午的我頭腦一片空白完全無法思考, 回家後,原本大概知道公司要裁員的大女兒跑來問我,一開始我只是淡淡的說,沒關係,妳們好好讀書就好。平時神經超大條的大女兒居然翻出報紙的求職版在看,我問妳看這個做什麼,她認真的說,她要找工作補貼家用。驚訝之餘,我告訴她,爸爸沒有事,明天還是要去上班,妳去寫功課吧。

接下來的一週,在公司內遇到認識的就告訴對方順便道別,有些人隨即表達他也是或者覺得婉惜,大多都是禮貌上的表達其實沒有什麼實質的幫助。在因失業而引起的失眠症狀稍稍好轉後,開始著手更新好幾年沒動的履歷和LinkedIn,Glassdoor等,才發現自己幾乎無法專注,上Coursera時想著履歷要怎麼改,改履歷時想著要怎麼找內轉。這時才真正體會什麼叫做千頭萬緒。

隨著離開公司的消息傳遞出去後,人與人之間的交情真誠與否因而愈發的清楚,居高位者無奈逃避, 同僚之間有表達感同身受的,也有跟著一起批評公司的,外部客戶的回應等等,許多的人情冷暖真是點滴在心頭,難怪"有沒有名片,你會是誰"這類的文章會這麼多人轉貼。

以前對於別人的失業都會帶著同情的心去看,親身經歷過後,我想與其是同情,更應該要用同理心去對待對方。以前也會想著失業時就是學新技能的最好時機,怎麼這麼多人不能把握, 事實的情況是,失業期間的心理和經濟壓力會讓人失去專注力,連專心都有困難的情況下,是很難專心去學新東西的。

(註)有人認為有領package只能說是優離不是裁員,事實上有沒有package都是屬於非自願性失業,差別只是有人拿package有人領補助而已。
