Ice cold beer will never break your heart. Live it up while you can.

Sorry to hear this.

I got laid off in 2019 after 17 years with nothing but rave reviews in my HR file. Decided it was time to switch careers and go into something that held more meaning for me. Super stressful, but happy to be on a more fulfilling path.

All the best of luck to you. Glad to see you enjoying some of the unexpected time off before your next adventure begins!

I spent 18 years working for a company that got acquired last December...they new brass showed up 2 days before X-mas and got rid of about 30 people...then another 20 or so a couple months later, and my turn came the following month.

Best thing that's ever happened to me. I'd been saving and put things in motion to start my own business back in January, since I knew it would be coming.

I'm not making much money yet...been spending time and money tooling up and buying inventory, but things are looking real good for December and have a good outlook for next year.

It is an employee's market! Sounds like the old boss will not be missed.
Relax and enjoy some time with family

X2,

BTDT - moved on - took a 45% pay cut at age 55 & then worked my way back up the "ladder" over many yrs to a decent retirement

QUOTE(Spoke @ Dec 3 2021, 07:13 PM) *

Out of college, I had a career. Now nearing retirement, it's about running out the clock until I decide to retire. Every year employed is one less year unemployed.
Spoke


ps.. - per above examples , after 17/xx yrs - child's company just got bought by hedge fund - now essentially "demoted" with a whole new crew of bosses who have no experience in the biz & already discarded 85% of the former employees, pursuing "lean mean" policies to make the company look good enuf to flip - it is nail-biting resume time in a fortunately good employment market, but the seniority & benefits losses can rarely be recovered

No one is defined by where they work or how long. Personal value is not the excess of your bank account or ability to not work.

Personal value can be defined instead by joy, contentment, and the people who love you, and each of those things are abundantly available every day by choice or effort.

Don't let fear creep in. You will be just fine.

Thanks Joe and all that have shared good thoughts.

The last two weeks have been like a True Vacation - Good Times, hanging with the GF, going to the Beach, painted the house, fixed some plumbing. No stress and I'm the happiest I have been in a long time.

I've had some really good interviews and I'm confident going forward.

and this time next week I will be in Seattle with the love of my life, Ada Marie

Look up. Better days and a better boss ahead. Think about starting your own business and being your own boss. Lots of opportunity where you are.

And good jobs are plentiful today - companies cannot find good people........

Frankly, I'm relieved

That's a shame you do not know the reason. I've worked for a lot of "Bosses" in construction and then about 15 years with the Government, and before and after has been working for myself when I can find it and it has relieved me to know I can make it myself. You are the Boss. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smoke.gif)
