Today 300 people got laid off at the Starbucks Support Center in Seattle. I hear there were about 40 in the call center where I used to work. I don't know who all was let go except the five who were on my team. A friend texted me to tell me who was gone. It seems a few were afforded the opportunity to at least email out a goodbye. I have mixed feelings about all this. I'm deeply saddened that some of my previous co-workers were axed and happy that I got out before all this went down. Mostly though, I'm just bummed about the whole thing. I hope everyone will be okay.
