Employment status: former

I jumped through hoops to be a new hire only to be laid off after 18 months.
Pros: The pay was good, the people I worked with were great, I enjoyed my project.
Cons: Lay offs are an annual ritual.  While I loved what I did, I didn't like the stress that came during "layoff" season. It was starting to feel like a lottery you didn't want to win.
