I am moving my family to hub as a single earner. I am very anxious as I don’t know if I will have a job after move. Lost a lot of money due to poor financial judgment and this seems yet another one. How do I convince myself this move is good?

How many times have you been selected for layoff and were you hired back?
I’m curious how many people have been selected for layoff over the years. In the past folks were given 60-day notices and many did not leave. Two-week notice is the norm now. How many folks were hired back?
