I was laid off a month ago due to organizational changes at my company, where I had worked for nearly 30 years. I still have a month left before my official end date, but I just found out that I didn't get my last internal option, which means I'm officially done next month. It's been a tough emotional rollercoaster for me, as this is my first layoff and I never expected to be in this position so close to retirement. My husband and I had been saving just in case, so we can keep our household afloat for a little while, but I'm still panicking about what comes next. I grew up in a generation that valued loyalty to a single company, and now I'm faced with starting over. I just wanted to share my feelings and vent to others who might understand what I'm going through.
