Survivor's remorse.

I've never heard this term before today. I've also never needed to hear it before today since I've never been in this situation before. It is the term to describe the feeling I have after being one of the few who somehow made it through the huge wave of lay-offs at my new job. It seems strange considering how new I am and how long many of the people who were laid-off had worked there... but I do consider myself quite lucky anyway despite my generally crappy feeling that so many of the good people I was working with are no longer employed along side me as they once were only days ago... day ago. Now I suppose I just gotta move on and make the positive difference I am being kept around to make. Before, when I was the newest, least useful one of many, I was quite dispensable... now, as one of the few remaining, I am quite important... well... it kinda feels that way, anyway. I might just be the least expensive. Ha. Either way, I  gotta do my part with gusto!
