Not in A Good Place Today

The large insurance company my husband has been employed by for the past 32 or so years is once again doing their usher the gray hairs out the door job eliminations this month while putting a "job restructuring spin" on the whole nasty business of getting rid of higher paid wage earners. Well, the axe fell today and my husband is now out of a job. It was not unexpected because they have been maneuvering him around and setting him up for this since last year at least so we've been preparing for it because that's how it is in corporate America- but it is really dirty pool firing an excellent employee who knows what he's doing and has bailed them out of jams multiple times through the years with his expertise less than a month after he's suffered the death of a parent. Two major life changing events in a month is a lot for anyone to handle, so now I have the added stress of having to monitor him for signs of depression (which he has suffered from and been treated for in the past) while scrambling to find a better paying job since he'll never find a new job that will pay him his current salary, so I need to step up to the plate to help make up the difference in what we've just lost. jointly. This sucks. (We're having a thunderstorm as a warm front collides with the current cold front- how utterly appropriate to my brand spanking new dark mood!

Sorry to vent here but this has a major impact on our life and I'm angry and upset today (and he's in shock at being suddenly unemployed). It is so not a good day here.
