We Can't Afford You

Do you put a price on your worth?   Is it based on looks, charm and personality?  Or is it based on experience and what you can add to a company?

Personally, I could never trade on my good looks, charm and personality.  I can trade on my experience as a good employee.

In the last six years, my experience has been (a) horrible, but most importantly I have learned that employers don't want good employees.  They don't necessarily have to qualify what they want in a good employee and by osmosis the employee should be able to figure it out.   Not whining, just observing.  I've had a lot of opportunity to observe.

I was laid off today because the company couldn't afford me.  For $10/hr.  The gory details are just drama, but I will say this sucks.  This scary sucks.
