My SIL just got laid off. She worked some really long hours as a middle manager. She travelled to several times zones many times a year. I guess she should be happy to have been well compensated while it lasted. She said it just sucked that she fell for the BS about how much they valued her contribution throughout the year and so she was completely blindsided. The holidays are going to have a different meaning for her from here on out.

Very true, the corporate environment is a tough one and you have to be prepared to not financially overextend yourself just in case you find yourself in this situation. Hard work and dedication doesn't guarantee anything anymore.
