Mrs got some not so good news Friday. Her job of 10 years is being eliminated. 32 years with the same company. I was so upset that running a tractor was not enough to settle me down.(tractor reference done)
She has been offered a different position with the company but that is not a job she would have tried to get had she been looking. More stress and work load.Plus she would have to work out of home which for us means she will need to rent an office as we do not have room for a home office. She would get to keep her pay rate and benefits/vacation etc.
The alternative is to hit the bricks and track down a new job at 54.Job market around here seems pretty good but with no degree and a currently fairly high pay rate it makes it hard to jump ship.
I am sure we are not the first to be in this position so wanted to reach out to my Tractor friends to see if anyone has thoughts and experiences to share.What I am asking here is what has been your experience and what is your advice for moving forward?
