• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

No new Farkles for me for long time

None of us like change, that's for sure. Sorry to hear this but you have a couple months to shape the next chapter in your life. Be positive, after all it could be a better one

than you presently have.

Yesterday I went to two business's that I have worked with in the past. A surprise to me, both had closed there doors recently. If there is one thing for sure, nothing stays

the same.

Sorry for the heartbreaking news, especially at this time of year.
My former employer closed the company in Pittsburgh last year at Dec 7.
After foundering for a while I found a new position with Panasonic in Reno, NV. near Tahoe.
Come and join us. Help is needed in all disciplines and Ryding in the desert and mountains is awesome.
Seriously PM me if you are considering moving to the Southwest

I hope that it is short between jobs. At my workplace, they are going to work with us to help us find jobs etc.

I am still in a state of shock, really has not kicked in yet.

It was a business decision to close the Plant and Distribution Center.

Deanna, good ideas as well as good messages from all of the others. Not much else can be said. Just remember always, that you know in your own heart, what you’re worthy of, and that positive thoughts will display itself in your endeavors, and will help you. I would wish you luck, but I do not believe in luck. Everything happens for a reason...we just have to have a receptive mind. Sending good vibes to you.

Try to focus on the GOOD news: you still have your Health and your Spyder... The entire job thing will sort itself out quickly.
So hang in there! :thumbup:

I hope you are able to find a new job - if you really have to.

Honestly as I get closer to retirement getting laid off is something I fear as I will most likely not look for another job. I plan to retire in July 2021 - staying to get the post retirement benefits primarily full insurance from 62-65.

I have had similar experience(s) in my career and took a leap of faith last time. I decided that my next job would be something that I really wanted to try, but never would due to being afraid to make a major change in my life. I went from a long career in engineering, making good money, but dealing with a high level of stress everyday, a long commute, and a general lack of being in control of my destiny. So, at the last opportunity, I decided to try to go into teaching math at the college level. I was able to be in the right place at the right time and landed a job at the local university four years ago. I make half the money I used to make, but I get my summers off (more riding time!), as well as the normal breaks during the school year. I love what I am doing and look forward to coming to work everyday. I don't miss the money and am much more optimistic about life in general.

The point being, don't be afraid to look around and see if there are opportunities out there that you may want to try, but never have due to the security of your current job. It may require some sacrifices, but true quality of life cannot be bought with just money! And besides, farkles can only bring limited happiness....the true joy is in the riding!

Good luck to you!

I have been looking around; I would like to stay working in the manufacturing field.
I hope I won't have any problems finding work, because of my work ethic, work experience, and job knowledge.
