Yes embarrassed like you can’t you believe.

OR

Greetings All,

Still working from home but it turns out to be bitter sweet.

Major petroleum company I work for was hit hard by pandemic and I they are completely eliminating all jobs at my facility as of 04/30/2021. People being let go in waves starting as early as October 2020 and I am lucky to be working on special project which requires my departments expertise and it this time will allow me to keep my position until the end 04/30/2021, "tentatively".

I will get a rather nice severance package for nearly 2 decades of service but of course the company put a clause in the the package that I have to ride this out to the end or forfeit my severance if I leave early. Also since my current end date is "tentative" they can move it forward or extend my end date since working from home since they have already announced the sale of the entire campus I used to work at . I have no way at all at this time to plan for whats next as my end date is tentative and they got me by the balz with the severance package.

This company has been good to me and I am grateful for the time I have left with the company, being able to work the rest of my tenure with the company from home and the severance but going to be hard at my age to start over again.

Could maybe get another position with company but that would mean moving overseas and not willing to do that.

Not knowing is the worst

Peace all and sorry for the rant

I love the way you keep the "positives" in mind in the face of adversities.  I wouldn't be willing to move either.  My husband and I have both faced changing jobs and dealing with age discrimination.  Hang in there with your great severance package in sight.  I'm sure a door will open when the time is right.  Prayers~M


Hey magnet1153 and everyone else who showed support.

Charon that was sweet message....

The way the world is right now I still realize how fortunate I still am. My faith will get me through but just a pain in the azz starting over at my age when I thought I had finally settled into a company that I would retire from. Just another challenge for me to conquer I guess.

Keeping on the subject of working from home it is a blessing but also a curse for someone who lives alone like me. Never thought I would miss my cube at the office. I met up with some friends from the office a week ago or so and I had not realized until then how much I had isolated myself without realizing it and how much I needed to get out and just cut loose. I did not realize how depressed I was until I actually took a peak back into my life before covad-19. It was an eye opener for all of us and we are getting together again soon.

If you live alone don't let this sneak up on you like I did. I'd love to get a dog but my condo does not allow them. LoL

PEACE and PRAYERS to all and stay safe...
