The unofficial "vent your frustration" to a stranger thread.

Just found out today that my company, that I have worked for for 24 years, is closing my facility in two months. "A tough business decision".

Where is the loyality, the dedication, the intrinsic value? How does one transition from a team member, who has taken a thousand punches for his company, taken responsibility for a thousand problems, solved a thousand problems, sweated and worried and fretted over meeting deadlines, doing a good job and doing the right thing for his workmates, bosses, department, customers and company, for 24 years, to being a duplicate "skillset"?

Me thinks they know not what they do.

I will not mention the company. It's still my company. Its just currently possessed by some evil spirit.

And sorry to say, it won't be the same without me. There are thousands of technicians and salespeople around the country that know my voice, and will not have me to turn to anymore.

Its a damn shame.

Anybody have any ideas, in a tough economy, what I should be when I grow up?
