I feel very sorry for this woman but as a therapist I can also see that her response to this is not normal. Nobody should ever place all of their happiness in one thing whether that be their family, marriage, job or a hobby. If she supposedly resolves situations by being so dramatic and
depressive she is not a normal thinker and is merely showing that she was a bad choice of employee to starta with.

It is all called schadenfreude this is the only way the world is run.

One word - JUMP

So we are all in this together are we. People`s comments here mocking the people who are facing dire straits while the rich who are unwilling to give up there wealth `while the fat cigar smoking banker looks down on the streets from his luxury office laughing at them at the mess they have caused.

looking on the bright side, one less on the dole

. I don't take any joy in the awful predicament the Greek nation finds itself in, bowing this time to the political and financial might of Germany rather than its invading armies. But they are paying the price for assisted entry into the Eurozone at a time when they didn't meet the financial criteria and were already falling into a spiralling debt crisis. This debt crisis is a result of profiligacy, nothing less. Tax evasion is a national sport played with equal gusto by the corner street giros shop as well as the big industrialists and bankers. They have a choice. Austerity to the point of reaching below the breadline or leave the euro, write off the huge debt and resume life with the drachma.The latter course of action will be really difficult at first but will allow them to set a trading value of their currency that is viable and open up the foreign trade options again. It is fraught wth danger but the alternative of bowing to the German imposed austerity measures only serves to heighten the unrest and enforced poverty of the nation and does nothing more than delay the inevitable, the default on the debt and the final ignomy of expulsion from the Eurozone as Germany finally loses its patience. We would do well to take heed of Greece's problems when debating our own efforts to decrease our national debt and be thankful we remain, for the time being anyway, masters of our own destiny!

The greeks travelled free for years ( the honesty boxes contained dust when opened) and hard jobs like barbers were allowed to retire at 50, Greece always has plenty of fit looking blokes sitting outside all day playing cards and no one saw this coming!!!!

This lady should consider everyone else in her family, loosing job and not having enough money, whole world population exist, sometime in their lives we all go through. Only God do not need money otherwise we all do. Yes blame dam system where they created banking system where people were force to borrow and borow, wise man have said live within your means but most do not do including myself so it is hard but not end of the world. Those who becomes victim of natural disaster and loose it all, they too recovers. By acting such a way, would she get the job back? NO so why act?

This is very common, in Japan, they really
take their job to heart.
Failure is not acceptable ,it appears.

I am surprised again at the lack of compassion and sympathy people display on others misery. She probably done it out of desperation not for publicity.

I am so very sorry, I hope they both get financiual help urgently. God bless them.

It is always the ordinary hard working people that suffer when the rich and powerful decide to implement austerity measures. The rich and powerful continue regardless in their luxurious lifestyles. I do wish ordinary workers would join together and demand that the rich and powerful pay the price for the economic problems that the rich and powerful caused.

A lot of this is Greece's own fault. They have had years of profligacy, spending euros like water. Now the pigeons have come home to roost. This could apply to us also. Stark lesson to us all. You can't spend money you haven't got.
