This is the hardest part of layoffs IMO. No unions involved at my job but the layoffs are still heartbreakingly arbitrary. Some VP somewhere who I'll never see and who has no idea who I am draws a line through a row on a spreadsheet and because that's not the row that represents my job category I keep my job today. But tomorrow it could easily be me. And nothing I've done - no seniority, no accomplishments, no amount of hard work will have anything to do with the decision about whether to keep me or let me go. That's hard to deal with.
