[QUOTE="Mattsmom277, post: 281099, member: 4264"] So sorry to hear this. It is becoming the norm round here to run into people we know and hear the same thing "laid off". My fiance was laid off in Feb. No severance. Just called mid day to the boss's office, told he can leave early, had a 2 week pay in lieu of notice cheque to give him. That was that. He works (or should I say worked) in the mining industry. It is incredibly hard hit in this economy here in Canada. It will be a long time for it to bounce back. After a month sitting home with us trying to figure out what to do, he applied to join the Department of National Defence (Canadian Air Force). He will be studying for 2 years to work as a radar tech on fighter jets etc. After his training, they will be posting us wherever they like. We will be gypsy's, posted somewhere new every 4 years. But it is security, great benefits, my MS medications (EXPENSIVE to point I can't get many that would help me ) are paid. No layoffs. We have decided to enjoy the frequent moves, seeing mroe of our lovely country and likely the odd posting to the USA (Cheyenne Mountain in Colorado .... we're excited for THAT posting) and overseas is likely too. Germany is a popular place for people in the forces in his trade. We've decided to turn this into an exciting adventure. But boy we had to work up to that idea. It is a big jump!! I hope that your husband isn't too disallusioned and that he can find something again soon. I also hope he got severence to help while he has to hit the dreaded job hunting trail. (((hugs))) [/QUOTE]
