I haven't been Formally employed in close to 10 years. It happens. You take your knocks, get back up, brush off the dust, and do something else. By Formally employed I mean going to the same place or company every day, and collecting a paycheck with benefits every 2 weeks. I'm doing far better now than I would have been if I had been allowed to keep my job, then, as an Engineer. It all had something to do with SUVs rolling over and a severed relationship between an auto manufacturer and a tire manufacturer. The cost of those law suits led to huge cuts in white collar personnel. The events of that era at that company are the reason I think Jacques Nasser ought to be stabbed in the throat with a pitchfork.
I gave them a huge
on my way out and haven't looked back since.
