On one hand, 
On the other,  as my wife still works there.
JFC talk about good timing. New job starts Monday. At home getting crap done this week.
**Timeline for closure TBD. I have no info other then it's happening**

We suspected this was coming, but not until much later in the year - possibly even next.
Relatively sure we will be ok as my wife's position is in hot demand. And there is likely to be a generous severance package.
Feel bad for the other folks. Happy I won't be competing for jobs with them though.
Lots of mixed emotions.

This would be the first job I've had in my adult life where I have not been laid off.

Not going that route again. Company #2 we've worked at together. Technology, for whatever reason, is inherently unstable as a career field. Not putting us in a position where all of our eggs are in one basket ever again.

I drove by a former employee once to see the entire building shut down. It can be scary to think what it would be like to go down with the ship.

Smart move. Plus it has marital benefits as well.

I have told this story before. I returned from Christmas New Years holiday in early 80's. There was a downturn in the economy and I was told the morning I returned from the holidays, I was being let go. From that day forward I worked towards independence. Some jobs you cannot do unless you work for someone. But, mine was not one of those jobs. Over the years I have occasionaly worked for the local and federal government. But my destiny has always been in my own hands.
If you have any aptitude at all for accounting it is a profession where you can make your own way. None of sons are in accounting or I would give them a practice.

Being an Outposter means many things, not least of which is being on the receiving end of our collective good will and karma.
The Gods favor you Tali, and by Gods I mean us.
Grats on the good timing, and, you're welcome.

Try to appreciate the negative view here, guys. If he had stayed maybe he woulda got a severance package and he could always get unemployment benefits which are awesome!!!11
Maybe that's why they had no problems with him leaving last week.
