First day back to work

Well today was my first day back to work, after having surery 3 weeks ago.  I go into work and told about 3 hours later that my position is bring eliminated.  Said they waited so I could have my surgery.. So now at the age of 53 I have to start over.. Been crying off and on all day wondering why me and how we are going yo make it.  Filing for unemployment tomorrow.  Thanks for listening.

I'm so terribly sorry.  I don't know what to say to bring you peace.  I hope you find employment quickly.  Best regards.

 

It was very nice of them to let you have your surgery before eliminating your position. that says a lot about your company. I pray you find a position soon. Take this time to heal and focus on getting better and exercising and adjusting to the new you. You can pre-plan your meals and exercise routine. Stay busy to keep your mind off work. Remember when one door closes another one opens and God does not give us more than we can handle.  

I am so sorry

I am sorry that you are going through this.

So very sorry that this has happened to you. I sincerely hope that you will find something even better and soon. What kind of work do you do?

Oh, that does suck, I'm so sorry. At least they waited until after your surgery, but that's cold comfort I know.

Please don't lose hope! Best wishes, and I hope you find something that works for you soon.

Thanks everyone.  I am.well was a pre school teacher.  I knew before hand there was restructuring going on with the whole company..they run a lot of day cares and before and after programs..that should give you a clue as to who they are..they closed the preschool near us and let those 3 people come over to our place, one being a lead teacher like me..so instead of letting her go, they let me go since I was supposedly the last man on the totem pole.of full time people.I think there is another person who they wanted to get rid of a few years ago.  I asked about a part time position and they said there is more recon structuring going on.  I take it they wanted me out..they did say it was nothing I did.

of course they stood there watching me pack up most of my stuff.  Kids were asking why I was crying.feel bad for them,as I just come back and bam gone again.  I really think they are trying to get rid of us higher paying teachers and replaced them with part time minimum wage people, so they don't have to pay benefits.

I unfortunately see this a lot.  Sounds to me like they are trying to do away with health insurance and benefits along with paying new people much less.  

Oh, this is so sad, and wrong. Feeling so sorry for you. Maybe because you're a teacher you might find work elsewhere in your field? Sometimes there is a silver lining that we can quite see thru these dark clouds. Sending you hugs and good luck wishes.
