No new Farkles for me for long time

I hope you're right. Vermont is a pretty small economy.

Yes, it does have a small economy, and high taxes. But it has a lot of manufacturing jobs, and etc.

Why wouldn't you use this opportunity to look into moving to warmer weather. I spent a year in Antrum, New Hampshire. Longer riding season.

Just a thought.

Good luck with your search. I know the feeling, the company I was with for 16 yrs closed in 03. But it will all work out. Gods speed my friend.

When you in Antrum, New Hampshire, did you ride on the Kancamagus highway?

No unfortunately I didn't. I went to college there. Lived in Houston Texas at the time, drove my little VW Beetle from Houston to Antrum, first time ever that I was ever north of Texas, Beautiful country, but Holey Kow, never in my life seen more than 1 or 2 inches of snow. Enjoyed my year there. The ice on the floor of the VW never melted all winter.

This was in 1962...............

A new Distribution center is opening in Louisville KY. If you are looking to move out of state.

Amazon is opening a new distribution/fulfillment center in Greenwood, IN also; but not till 2020.
Wishing you the best now and in the future, wherever your new job takes you. Glad you're getting a severance package for a temporary financial
safety net. All the media is focusing on is the low unemployment rate; but downsizing and business closings are continuing to happen at a rapid rate.

DEE,
I'm glad to hear that you're getting a severence package...
Will they allow you to help choose the body parts that they sever from the nit-wit that made the decision to close your plant?

[safecracker]

D, I just saw this post. I know you will find a good job soon. Best of luck. Bruce and Suzanne.

I wish, also I would give them a piece of my mind. It will take me a long time to get over what has happened.

I was veteran there, worked there for 19 years, and I was hoping to retire from there, BUT that is not going to happen!!!!!!


There are several other people that have worked there( 2 each @ 26 years, me @ 19 years, 2 more @ 22 years each, 3 @ 18 years, ) that have more years of service then me.

They are also closing a distribution center, next to the plant.

Bruce and Suzanne, I have my feelers out for jobs.

Next week I am sending a resume, application, cover letter to an employer ( they aren't going to start hiring until Jan.) Also, this week-end I am going to apply for several jobs ( on-line), tonight I've already submitted my resume, just waiting to hear from the H.R. Recruiter ( it is a manufacturing job in my area, and they have a very large military contract to fill right off, so they will be hiring a lot of people, and the $$$ is good, with great benefits( the benefits start on the day of hire, it has a 100% ESOP), they have medical, dental, vision benefits.

More info to come, when I have the time to post.

I'm so sorry to hear this news for you, D.

Thanks, I am thinking about staying in the manufacturing sector.

They are giving us 2 months to find work. My cut off date is Jan 4th, 2019, and I have 6 more years until retirement.

When I have more info. I'll post. It has been very stressful.

Deanna

As they say: Life is what happens when you're making other plans. Whenever I encountered some adversity my Dad would tell me it builds character. Though this is, understandably, very stressful for you, I see you already have hit the road with what you need to do - resumes, applications, etc. Action, for me, is the best antidote to stress.

I'm praying your job search will be short and you can take that severance money and have some fun with it.

If you're getting interviews: it's only a matter of time before somebody recognizes your talent...
Keep plugging away, and good things WILL happen!

AND employers wonder why there's NO LOYALTY from employees anymore????? The children of the baby boomers saw/lived what their parents/aunts/uncles went/going through. This is the result of the sole focus is on the bottom line. If the bottom line isn't large enough, people get laid off, or businesses shutter their doors.

[Deanna777]

I am commuted to the company until Jan. 4th ,2019. I'll be available to work on Jan. 7th, 2019( Monday).

I am helping decommission the equipment. If I leave before Jan, 4th I forfeit my severance package.

So I have to stay on board until Jan. 4th, 2019.

Deanna

[Deanna777]

I agree.

Pete & Mike,
This thread is about Deanna: not about business and/or political "theologies"...
Let's head in another direction... please?
