MandarisThis one was pretty easy to write.
- What is the most memorable job you’ve held?
The most memorable job that I’ve ever held was working at a company called Unify. It was a small company that had a long history of products.
It was during the time that I was working there that I met my wife, got married, and had children.
The company had moments of boom and bust and it was the people there that made me want to stay. Ultimately, we had a bust quarter and I learned the hard way that a business is a business.
I was laid off with a number of other people.
I still feel it sometimes. The loss of identity as a provider for my family - especially at that age - echoes in a lot of the things I do and never in a good way. The friends that I had when I worked there do contact me occasionally, but it’s definitely not the same.
I thought this was going to be a happier post.
