Silver lining is that I got a severance from my last employer. Got to wait until mid September to get that money. Watching more games is a bonus. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dread-headed Texan Posted October 26 Share Posted October 26 I'm sorry to hear but my heart is with you during this troubling time. Just like family, we don't always agree, but if one is hurting we all hurt. Troubles don't last always but hard people does❤️ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inspired73 Posted October 27 Share Posted October 27 That's always bad news. The economy is going down - fast. All of my clients had a nice surge after Covid which fattened their bank accounts, but this last year or so have been a steady downward trend. Good luck in your search.

Steven Conant Posted October 29 Share Posted October 29 Being in O&G, I experienced 5 or 6 of these events. Rarely do they have anything to do with you other than you are the one that has to climb out of the hole and make something happen. And you will. You have obviously been successful in the past and you should expect to be successful in your job hunt as well. I believe God does have a plan for us, but he ain't sain' what it is. I am confident we won't abandon you having brought you this far, but it is up to you to get it done. Sounds like you are putting in the work and I beleive you will reap the rewards. Still, the hardest job you will ever have is looking for a job. Stay positive and enjoy each success you have. Each one is leading you to your goal.

I also worked in Oil and Gas for 35+ years and was laid off in Houston in 1986. Started a new job in Dallas the month my severance ended and sold my house in Houston for a significant loss. Dallas job turned out well and as I moved up I saw layoffs from management side. I believe jobs are eliminated 'lined out " but the people in those jobs are blameless. Best wishes and stay positive!
