The other day, I gave one of my private students a past-tense speaking prompt about her job, and she told a story about working hard for a small company for 2 years, helping it grow, working long hours, caring about the end product so much, and then being abruptly laid off by someone she’d considered a mentor, and I had to excuse myself to talk a walk and Have Feelings.
I’m still not over it and I’m starting to think I never will be.
