How do ask someone their feelings after being laid off. It's a difficult situation for a reporter. I was at ATK in Tremonton covering the latest rounds of lay offs. I know they don't want to talk about it. Being on television is the last thing on their mind. But as a reporter that's our job: asking those private, personal questions. I know what they're going through having being laid before. It's a feeling that eats up your insides, not knowing where your next job will be, sitting alone in your home while your wife has gone to work. Like the man I met today said "as husband and father you have to be the provider" and when you are put in that spot you feel you've let those in your family down. I was watching "Up in the air" a movie about hired guns whose job it is to tell workers they've been laid off. When one person starts sobbing after getting the news the woman tells him "snap out of it, look at it as an opportunity!" He responds "#!##! you, I'm 56 years old who is going to hire me?" That's the reality for many workers at ATK today. I wish them all the best.
