From ABC News:
There were no tears when Sharon Singleton got called into her boss’ office to be told her job had been eliminated. Those came later. While Singleton, one of 11 employees let go by the city of Lathrop, Calif., took a day off to figure out her next step, her colleague was quietly deciding to give up her own job to save someone else’s. Patricia “Patti” Overy, a mother of four, said she too was shocked by the layoffs, which claimed two members of the close-knit finance department where she had done accounting work for seven years. Her job was spared. “I started kind of doing a little soul searching and looking at my situation,” Overy said, “and went home and talked with my husband.”
Wow. Makes the heart glad to read a story like this. Blessed to be a blessing.
