No new Farkles for me for long time

[Deanna777]

I guess I wont be buying any new farkles for a long time, because my work place is closing its doors.

I will be still employed until Jan. 4th 2019. I found out this today.

I was with the company for 19 years.

Bummer Deanna. Do your best to enjoy the time between jobs but I hope it’s short.

Deanna, I'm sorry to hear this. Uncertainty about the future is never easy to deal with in the best of times. Hope you land another job that you enjoy as much.

Wow Deanna, that bites! Very sorry to hear this. But I know you, you'll bounce back. Gotta keep farkleing!

Stay tuned!

Yes, a rotten situation. I add my best wishes to Pete's that you promptly find another position that you like as much as the last one.

If it had to happen, at least times are much better than they were. Hopefully the low unemployment rate will find you finding a new spot that is a good fit soon. One door shuts, another opens, so find it. Remember your Spyder is good wind therapy to use during the search for what is next.

Sorry to hear, hope something right comes around.

Good Luck! I know its no fun starting over and going thru job interviews.

Still amazed the questions they ask sometimes or lack of questions.

I found myself over prepared for some and under prepared for others ,but it did help polish my interview skills.

Anyway I think you will get two weeks severance for every year you been there.

[bscrive]

Deanna,
Whatever severance package they offer you, make sure that you take it to an labour lawyer to make sure that it is all that you are owed. Most times employers will offer much less than you are owed. Of course, it all depends on the labour laws for your state.
Just remember, that what the law states will only be the minimum you are entitled to. They never state the maximum you are entitled to. Only an employment lawyer can tell you that.

[Deanna777]

Thanks,

My severance package is 26 weeks my base salary.

Here is the latest update about my interview that I had today, The company is called Revision -Eye wear. They supply the armed forces/ law enforcement/ Special Operations with helmets, goggles etc.


They have 2 manufacturing plants in Vermont. They have won several awards and just got a very large contract with the army. Look up revisionmilitary.com for more info. They partner w/numerous organizations such as Special Operations Warriors Foundations, Blind Veterans U.K. Team Army.




The interview went very well. Next step is waiting until Dec. ( first week) to hear from the Production Supervisor about the job that I applied for.

They also mentioned a Quality Control job ( which would be Monday to Friday). I said I would be interested in that also, since I have Quality Control experience.

They asked me about $$$. They have a great benefit package. The job that I applied for is day shift. ( 12 hours).
More info. to follow.
