I just got laid off on Tuesday. My bosses boss scheduled a meeting with me out of the blue. The subject matter "touch base". I walked into the meeting thinking about new tasks and assignments. Instead I got the boot. No thanks after working for this company for 6 years, just goodbye.
What's next? I'm ready to retire and to pursue my passions, but it still feels painful dealing with rejection. I'm thinking why me? But this too will pass.

It sucks. You will get thru it. It happened to me at one place I was for 10 years. And those 10 years were miserable. Bullied for 10 years, then chewed up and spit out.
Maybe this is a good chance now for you to retire. Or can you do something part time if you still have the itch? I know it's easier said than done. Just don't get too down and watch your health. I read an article that the stress of losing one's job is almost the same as what people who have heart attacks suffer. Remember, you will get thru this. |

I have been laid off before and the feeling is awful. If I were you and going to retire, just enjoy life from now and don't look back. Who needs them? Yes, this will also pass like all things in life.

I go forth today not knowing if I will still have a job by the end of today.
I have been at this job for fifteen years. I'm just scared right now... |

I was laid off in 2017. My face still burns, even though 34 people were laid off the same day. You'll be okay, I promise. Time passes. Do your venting here. People will listen. I just heard the other day that the person who laid me off was herSELF laid off last week. Hah! Karma.
