That stinks. Sorry that happened to you.

 

Thank you.
I was a month off, I figured the end of January. **** happens.
I was told two years ago I would never get another raise, ever. I was just waiting. Mainly spite.
The office people went from 5 to 12, and several are joined at the hip.
The last 3 places the plant manager has been employed went belly up.
The new maintenance Manager is a master electrician. I got along with him, but he wasn't there for the 'dismissal' (he was off for his anniversary) I wired and engineered about 50% of the electrical panels in the shop.

Oh well, karma is a bitch

 

Sorry man. Will keep you in my SB prayers.

 

That sucks. We'll keep you in our prayers.

 

When I told the better half, she said "Well. you should be less stressed"
I just may apply for SS. I am 62+

 

Don't do that: claiming at 62 is too costly in the long term.
Get another job. You obviously have skills~!
They say you get the same amount of money from SS over time, but inflation is such that you always seem to need more money in the future.

 

Walmart is desperate especially for maintenance guys.

I was laid off in 1997 right before Christmas. It does suck.

 

Man, that's the pits. So sorry. Hard to believe companies would do that right before Christmas. That's the Grinch.

 

Well, the CEO is a self proclaimed socialist who NEEDS to be the smartest person in the room

I feel like a weight has been lifted off this old body

but THANK YOU!

 

I got laid off from a company I had worked at for 23 years. They wanted to send me to BFE and I refused. It turns out it worked out for the better as the new place was pretty darn good and the old place went down the tubes, got rid of half their people and is renting out half their office space. The a-hole who got me "laid off" didn't last long either.
