It was a wierd time, the work on the nukes was coming to an end, and we had to rate the people we supervised, in order of preference. By the time I was ditched, all the job vacancies were gone and then some, and having been a supervisor, I couldn't get a journeyman job.
In my time with that company, the culture changed from that where the companies rewarded faithfull employees to the "no loyalty either way" style.
I should say that twice, in previous employments, I was laid of in earlier years to make room for the friends of a new boss, and twice I was the one who turned them, the bosses, down when they later flamed out and wanted to follow me.
