Job loss cliches

What goes around comes around.

I hate to think that such a cliche could possibly be true. But take a look:

I fired or convinced to resign five people in my checkered career. Then I myself was "laid off."

And now Kit Hadley, who was ultimately responsible for my layoff, has herself been reorganized out of a job.

Comforting for maybe two seconds. But, since it's a cliche, pretty meaningless.

And only slightly better than "Some things were meant to be" or "You'd be really good at...."
