For the first time in my life, I am the one in my group of five friends who is still employed. Two thoughts run through my head. First, it makes me wonder if I have learned any lessons from my three bouts of unemployment due to downsizing, rightsizing, or political misalignment. Second, I wonder if I'm next. As I listen to my friends and look at my past, I realize there are some lessons we can all learn from one another.
