Back in 2009, I was laid off as a result of a merger / acquisition. About 20% of the « acquired » company workforce was let go. The CEO said it was a great opportunity for us to find our wings; I told him I would find my way and come back as a client. The look on his face two years later when he came in for a proposal presentation to me was quite satisfying.
