Well. That blew me out of the water. I come back from vacation to find that they're getting rid of my position, so as of tomorrow, I won't be coming in to work anymore ( Read more... )

Maile, are you okay? Is there anything we can do to help? Please let us know!

Re: Holy #$%! mailechan December 11 2009, 19:41:25 UTC

Thanks, Eric. Yeah, I'm doing okay. They offered a severance package that was good, and will pay health insurance for another six months, and I'm already fully vested in the retirement plan. So even though I hope to be employed long before then, I've got some breathing space before I panic.

Wow - that's good. My company didn't give me severance and my health insurance only lasts til the end of the month.

Thanks. I'm trying to look on the bright side--I've got a good severance package, I'm still covered with health insurance, and I can concentrate on the house move for the rest of the month.

And I'm better off than a few others who were given the boot--one lady is only a couple of years away from retirement, and she's wondering if she will even be able to get a job at her age.

Ow! That's terrible.

mailechan December 11 2009, 19:45:09 UTC

Yeah. About the only good things are that I now have time to concentrate on the Move, and that there will always be a need for my skill set. I can file with the best! :P

Wow, that's terrible! Let me know if there's anything we Mews can do from out here, okay?

Even if it's just sending chocobo cookies. ♥

Chocobo cookies!!!!

Thanks, your and L's thoughts make me feel a lot happier. I've got some breathing space--they're technically keeping me on the payroll until the end of the year, so I do have two paychecks coming, and then the severance package is not bad, plus they'll cover my health insurance for half a year. I certainly hope to be employed way before that runs out, but I could be much worse off. I'm doing my best to be positive about things.
