Hi Ladybug,
My DH is also older, in fact he is turning 60 in a couple of weeks, so I get that factor too. He went from paper boy, to elem. school teacher to the job he has had now for 23 years. This isn't something he is used to , in fact he thought he would retire with this company.
I don't believe there will be any severance pay since the company went banckrupt and in 60 days the company that bought them can do anything they want. My DH is a value asset in the buisness, but are they willing to pay him for that? It doesn't look good for him. I am just hoping they don't let him go, I would rather have them downsize him, so at least he is bringing in some money until he can figure something out.
My T was amazed at my attitude torwards this. He said most people would be devestated, but instead I am already thinking about how financially going to deal with this. I am devestated, but I guess I am going into survior mode now, I guess that is one positive of being an abused child. Nothing can be as bad as that. I guess my T underestimated my self confidence. LOL I guess I underestimated it myself. double LOL! It is truly a compliment to my T.
I guess the hard part is trying to get it all together, we are trying not to burden the kids with this news until something is more definate. There is a small chance nothing will change, in fact maybe we might get better benifits.
So today at 4 am, I was out buying the "cheap doorbuster deals" and buying the leftover turkeys for 5 bucks to stock up. I have to keep going like everything is going to be okay, but watch the spending more. It will be a strugle but I think I will be okay.
