Cameron laid off from work

At 10 am today Cameron was laid off from DTI Technologies. He has been working there since the summer of 2006. After graduation, she started working full time. He has enjoyed working with his dad at his work and learning new tools, software, hardware and many other things with the computers and the software that DTI makes. He was a software tester and was working on the web testing recently. 50 people were laid off, including Cameron. 1 to 4 people in each department. Many friends and neighbors were laid off in that 50. They based it on three things, 1. how many years you worked at DTI, 2. the skills you had and if they were needed and 3. profienciency while at work and dependability. The Board of Directors gave points in these three areas, and that is how they decided who would be let go. Some people had been there over 11 years. Cameron was a little bit stunned and sad, but it is a blessing in disguise, because he needs to start his mission papers and get out in the field. He has made some great money and is well ready to use it for his mission. His mom told him that he has two weeks off, then she is going to put him to work. (Like de-junking his room)
