Missing In Action

I know I have been absent for a long while, but the stress of not knowing if I was going to have a job or not was making me crazy. Well, the decision was made today and another vendor was awarded the contract for the entire Inova system. Needless to say I am bummed. This is the best hospital I have ever worked at and everyone was happy with my work. They made sure to explain that it was not something I did or didn't do but just a system wide decision. Thanks for everyones support during this time of not knowing what was going to happen. I have no idea where I will have to move to with my present employer of 22 years. Hopefully they will have someplace for me to go. Being 53 years old doesn't make me as good a candidate as some younger blood.

I am sorry it ended up going to someone else.  I saw firsthand what a terrific job you and your team do!  I will be keeping you in my thoughts and prayers for a great new location -- maybe closer to home?  ;)  Hang in there -- if I can be of help, just let me know.

Michael, It's so nice to see your smiling face back here;you have been missed! I'm sorry the hospital picked another contractor. I have faith you will land on your feet and make the best of it. There is much to be said for experience so don't think these young whippersnappers will take your place. We are here to lift you up and stand beside you--no matter what. We are family here. Now then..how 'bout a health/weight update? New pic maybe? Smiles and hugs,

Same thing happened to me 3 years ago and look where I ended up!  Closer to family and somewhere that has WLS options!  Woohoo! 

I sincerely hope you end up as happy with your (forced) change as I did with mine.

I am very sorry to hear about the contract, Michael. Although your age may make you look less attractive for some jobs, it can be a benefit for others, where management skills, people skills, and maturity are called for. It is good to see you again. Joe

sorry to hear that the contract did not go in your company's favor.  I'm sure you will come out on top and with a career of 22 years I know they will find you something in return for all the dedication you have given.  I'll keep you in my thoughts!

Be more concerned about your character than about your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think of you.

Michael I am so sorry - that really sucks! We were all wondering what had happened to you!  I am sure you will get something acceptable soon as you are a great worker and they can't afford to let people like you do... So how are you doing on your weight loss journey and how are things with your family?........ Jackie
