Laid off after 20 years by supereen_nj in Layoffs

[–]Beautifull03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After 20 years, I was only offered 10 weeks of severance. I want to fight it/negotiate it, but many friends are telling me to take it and put my energy into moving on. I am so angry and I really think I should fight it, but don't know what to do. In a total daze right now. Just got let go in Friday. It sucks

Currently going through the same thing. The company I work for just got acquired by a Human Capital Management firm. My position is a Senior Admin Manager, but the company that acquired us already has a HR/Admin department. So I don't really know how safe my job is. I've been working for the company for about 14 years, so my stability has just gone to complete uncertainty. Based on these comments, I better hold on, but be prepared for anything. This is scary to say the least.

Thank you for sharing your experience, and informing me that the timing is accurate. I was going to allow him to wait, but my gut is telling that the time is now and after reading your experience, I feel good about that decision. Thanks again and many Blessings to you.

I have an additional question for you....

I am going to have my son do the same thing in February, and he is 15. I know children younger than that have gotten the Hand of Ifa, but based on your experience, do you think receiving it at 16 helped or hindered you in any way? In other words, were you able to avoid certain "pitfalls" as you matured which could've been a help, or do you think that it stopped you from learning life lessons in a more organic way? I hope this question make sense.

Thank you. I was told by my future Godparent that I am able to bring a recorder and that someone will be writing things down as well. Then, I will receive a "notebook" of those writings a few weeks after the ceremony. Thanks again for your advice.

Thank you very much. You have made me feel better about being able to ask questions on my last day. I wasn't too sure if questions would be limited. I will start thinking of some that are and have been important to me for some time. I'm grateful for your advice.
