Assuming that the place I worked at would always have work for me. I'm older, so I didn't have the newer philosophy of job hopping for experience, and believed I could make a career at this one place. I was there over 20 years and had 2 positions. It was union so I was making good money just from the seniority. I was on my 3rd supervisor (previous ones retired) and we didn't get along so well. I got laid off and trying to find a new job I was like a baby getting born -- didn't know a thing about the outside world. It's been tough.
