This is a selfish industry, were all in it for ourselves, the sooner you realize that and accept it the easier it becomes to manage your dissapointment.
I have no disappointment. If I spend 2 years furloughed, I won't expect anyone to help me. I have always lived way below my means, and consequently have few regrets. I believe that what you get is directly proportional to what you put in. As such, all my days are good ones regardless of what happens here. From your comments, I would expect you to be a constant complainer who won't be happy no matter what happens because you truly don't care about anybody but yourself. Life is too short man.
