Laid off, took a lower job at a company that was family owned for >25 years. 3 months after they hired me they sold the company to a foreign investor. 3 months later they laid of 1/3 of us.

Where I grew up they had these outdoor lock boxes where everyone had a slot with their own key and then there were a couple larger spots where they could put packages and then put that key in your mail slot.

Seems like a great solution for rural areas.
