I don’t know if this is the place but today I found out a coworker who I worked with since we interned passed away today. This is the second person in the past two years that has passed away and this is my first corporate job in security. Is this normal in security? I feel like my morale was already at a low when the first person passed and when layoffs happened but now this basically crushed me. On top of that I have people who I have to advise for supply chain security being rude and wanting things done asap. I love my job but I just feel numb. This person literally inspired me at work and I always saw them as someone who would go on to do great things in the industry but now they’re gone. Life really is cruel and unfair.
