23 years and lost my job :( I am still in shock. After 23 years of dedicated service to such a large corporation, I have lost my job. At my age (53) the idea of having to look for work and make a career change is daunting. Trying to keep my mind off the whole thing and walking Wallee as much as possible. Sure hope I can figure out what the next step is in such a bad economy and still remain the mommy that my puppy deserves. |
I am so sorry to hear about your job loss. Lots of hugs |
So sorry you lost your job... sending prayers your way.. hugs, |
So sorry about your job. Praying you find another very soon. Big Hugs to you and Wallee. |
so sorry about the loss of your job// praying that everything turns out ok |
Oh goodness, I'm so very sorry..... It's a very harsh world out there at the moment isn't it - all over the world :(. Please keep your chin up - one door closes etc - and we pray you have good news for us in the near future. Hugs from Sally + Harry :aimeeyork x |
So sorry... hope you find something better! |
So sorry about your job loss. Praying that something even more wonderful comes to you quickly. |
At after 23 years, you probably knew that company and its ways better than anybody. I'm sure sorry to hear of your job loss. But some employers now days really do appreciate the stability of an older, settled worker. My prayers are with you as you start looking and I hope you find a company that will realize what it is getting in you very, very soon. |
So sorry. But think of it as a new chapter in your life :). But I understand how scary it is. Just try to stay positive |
I'm so sorry that you lost your job , hopefully you will find a good one very soon. |
I'm so sorry to hear about you losing your job. That kind of thing has become all too common, sadly. Praying for you that this will just open a new and exciting road ahead! |
I'm so sorry for the loss of your job, I hope you find an even better one. |
We have been through that twice. The first time due to a plant shutting down, the second time due to the company selling off a plant. Both times, especially the second time, were very dark, depressing, worrisome times in my life. However, both have brought us to better places. The first time my husband ended up in a new job he enjoyed much more than the old one and with a wonderful company. The second time, although traumatic at the time, required us to move our family for a new job. I love the city and area of the country that we are in now so much, that I feel like I'm in heaven and so lucky to be here. Looking back, I feel so lucky that those job losses happened because it brought us to where we are now. I have talked to others that have gone through similar experiences and would say the same thing. I know it's hard, but try to stay positive because like the saying goes "when one door closes, another one opens". It may not be the door you are expecting either, but I now you will land on your feet and end up in a better place when this is over. |
Cindy, I'm so so sorry to read this...so sad after all those years! I can only imagine what you must be feeling...I'm stunned to read this, so sorry my friend. Please call me, I sent you a pm....:( |
So sorry to hear of your job loss. I can't imagine what you are going through. I hope you can find something soon! I will keep you in my prayers! |
Good luck Wallee. I hope your mommy finds a job soon. When daddy lost his job in Nebraska almost 3 years ago, he tried and tried to find another job there but was having no luck. Trying to find a new job when you're over 50 is not fun! He finally got a job offer in Dallas, TX and we moved. It was very hard. I hope things work out for you and your family! I'll pray for you. |
So sorry praying for you. |
I am so sorry. Praying you will find a new job soon. |
I'm so sorry of your job loss and I can understand your frustration. There have been rumblings in my company about layoffs etc. and my initial thought was I'm going to start my own business. The looming idea of having someone having the fire me just because has started to annoy me. Having my own business depends on my own success or failure. So I say this to say, maybe this is your time to focus on you and find something that you yourself control. Aren't we the holders of our own destiny? Big hugs to you and I wish you all the best. I understand your fears but something better may open up for you. |
I am so sorry to hear this... I cannot imagine how you are feeling. I will be thinking about you! I hope you find something quickly. |
I am so very sorry. My husband has been out of work for almost 3 years. He is legally blind since birth and is on disability, thank goodness. I had to retire almost a year before my 65th BD but am finally on disability. We went through all our savings so I am now w/o health insurance till the first of the year. It is very very difficult. You can get COBRA but it is extremely expensive. There are going to be a LOT more layoffs because of Obama winning the election and things are going to get worse before they get better. Don't get me going on this one or I will be banned from YT :rolleyes:' I will be praying for you and your family. George and I have found that God is always there just on time for us but still, it is a hard thing to deal with from day to day. God bless you, Louise PM me if you ever want to just talk. |
Same thing happened to my dad! He waited over a year before he found a new job in his field. He had to move from NJ to Nashville, TN :(. The rest of his family is still here in NJ because mom and I have jobs here. My brother has a masters in a accounting and can't get a job! |

What type work did you do there? Is it something you can do part-time for a temp agency until you find something else? |
I am so sorry. I was let go 7 years ago after 33 years with my company with no warning. I was 53 too. It is very traumatic. They tend to get rid of the loyal long term employees to cut expenses. Sad world. I hope you can find a better employer that will value your experience and dedication. |
I feel horrible for you....loyality to a job is unappreciated in this day and time. And it is going to get so much worse now. With the implementation of the new health care mandate, companies have already started laying people off because of the cost of insurance to the company. Companies are laying off and even closing their doors. Employees that have been with companies for a long period of time, are not looked at as "a loyal, productive employee", but rather an "employee that is at the top of a pay scale"....we can lay off 12 top of the pay scale employees, or we can lay off 30 middle and lower pay grade employees......" They will choose what is most beneficial to the company. So so sad...... Everyone I know that has been laid off, say they are better off for it....they find new ways to make ends meet and some are forced into doing things they had just kinda been thinking they might enjoy getting started in, but were fearful to take that step. I am praying this will open up a whole new world to you, one you sincerely enjoy doing and can be such a successful transition for you! |
I am sorry for the loss of your job. You will definitely be in my prayers. |
Im sorry |
I am so sorry to hear about your upsetting news. I am in my 50s as well and I understand how you feel. One positive thing is people are working longer and there more seasoned workers in the workplace today. Don't feel you are too old to re-invent yourself because you are not. Until you decide what your next move will be , stay active and be creative. Sometimes voluntering can end up being a paying job. Don't let depression slip into your mind especially with the holidays coming up. Don't feel guilty if you can't afford to purchase gifts. Remember you will have to live beyond December 25th. Just think this closed door maybe the opening of something bigger and better coming your way. |
