A California woman is giving up her job – so another can keep hers. When layoffs were announced in a city council meeting, Patricia Overy willingly gave up her accounting position to a fellow 60-year-old coworker. A wife and the mother of four children, Overy decided to step down because she “felt she could cope with the loss of a job better than” her coworker, Sharon Singleton. Overy’s husband works for the city of Tracy and she is now looking for a new job – a task she feels will be much easier for her, than for Singleton.
