    Stay positive and look forwards as much as you can.  Life throws many curve balls at us, for what it's worth I've generally found one door closing can open better ones.  In time I hope you find the same.

    @TEXASBGE2018.  I’m soooo sorry to hear that.   It’s such a tough situation and many here have been there before.    It may not seem like it, but there is a bright future out there. Again, I’m really sorry and that just sucks really bad.

    Thanks guys! It was out of nowhere. Whole facility of 400 plus people getting the ax. Was hoping to leave next year anyway but on my own timeline. Problem now is it’s in the middle of a fudging pandemic and 30million other people are looking too.

    @TEXASBGE2018 So sorry to hear this bad news.  Hate to be blunt, but as the cliche goes, it's going to get worse before it gets better.

    Im certainly sorry to hear it my friend. But keep in mind that it’s always the darkest right before the dawn👍

    Man I’m really sorry you are having to go through this.  It’s a truly crappy time for our industry right now. Feel free to reach out to me if you want or need to vent.

    So sorry to read / hear of this. There were serious reductions on Tuesday at my place of employment. I managed to dodge the bullet again.....While not of interest to you (my situation), my point is this is happening with frequency and with many companies. Stay positive....remember its how you handle the difficult times in your life that define you. Wish you (and others impacted) by these steps as you adjust and chart your future.
