After 18-1/2 years of being a SAHM raising five kids, I went back to work. I started my new job August of last year and really enjoyed it. I didn’t miss a day of work, and only took 5 days off (3 of which were bereavement leave). Also, I had not received any write ups or had any major issues/conflicts. The overall feedback I received from my superiors was positive.
Yesterday, I got laid off. Even my immediate boss was shocked. (Ironically, today is her last day as she is moving out of state. This leaves her replacement, who has been on the job for three days, to take over all office duties... alone.) Apparently my entire position had been terminated as it will be moved to the corporate HQ 4 hours away. I had about five minutes to gather my things, log off my computer, turn in my key, and leave. No goodbyes to my coworkers. No responses to the potential patients I had been working with, and no tying up loose ends.
So, I guess, here’s to a twist in the road and the possibilities ahead. And to an unexpected “vacation” from work.
