Re-organisation
This does not always affect us as individuals however I have faced it quite recently.  It can take a while to adjust but in the long run you forget it ever happened.  I just take everything as it comes and try not to worry too much.

Loss of a co worker
If they move on of their own accord I wish them well and perhaps try and stay in touch if we have become close.  If due to redundancy, I deal with it how I would myself (see below)

Redundancy
I have been there 4 times and dealt with it pretty well.  For some personal friends and those here on DD, I have assisted with updating and revamping CV's.  It is difficult but you have to understand your job is being made redundant, not you.  Of course this put us in a situation we haven't chosen to be in but it does give us an opportunity to change career or aim in a different direction if we so wish.  Throughout my career when faced with redundancy, I have always managed to find another job even though it maybe hasn't been the right one at the time.  However I have worked for some prestigious companies and am very proud of my CV.

Company just changed from PCs to Macs
I don't know what year this happened but I have never been affected.  I only ever used a Mac once and that was in a temp job many years ago.
Change is inevitable.  We cope in whatever way we can.  It is something we cannot control or plan for, like death for example or sudden illness.

Life is challenging and things happen for a reason (if you believe so).  You can only plan so far ahead.  I try not to worry too much about things but of course we cannot help having those anxious little moments.
