HINSDALE, N.H.-I'm reading a lot about cuts to the federal government workforce and how horrible we're supposed to think that is. Funny how this is viewed differently than cuts to the private sector.
Private sector companies merge, acquire each other, and even downsize all the time. Job changes and/or layoffs happen. This is normal. No one decries the loss of employment these affected individuals suffer; the fact is they can (and will) find new jobs. So can former federal employees.
No job is forever.
Times change. Jobs change. It's not the end, but a new beginning.
