Employee saves company $1.5 million per year, gets laid off within months: 'Instead of getting a thanks or a bonus'

It seems like in this day and age, you're never quite sure where you stand with your company. Getting let go is always a bit of a shock to the system, no matter who you are or what kind of work you're doing. That's what happened in this situation, when an employee who by all accounts was doing a commendable job, was suddenly relieved of their position after their big money-saving project was complete. It seems as though sometimes they just want you for a specific project but don't want you after it's done. 

But what do you do with all that leftover energy? Do you resolve to take your talents elsewhere, or do you dig your heels in and try to make sense of what just happened to you? That's what the commenters were trying to help this worker through, and all had different avenues of advice. Read on for the story.
