Plenty of work cranking up down here… tens of billions of $$$ in new construction. Somebody with the nerve to claim a salable set of skills in the industrial sector, especially in the more technical biz, are in good demand.
It is, however, down here in southwest Louisiana.

Prayers you got: also best wishes. My wife and I are thoroughly enjoying Texas, which is one of the better job markets in the USA right now, if you feel like relocating. Even if you don’t, I’m sure someone with your hard-learned skills and work ethic will have no trouble finding work up there. We’ll keep our fingers crossed for you.
Hopes and prayers always go out to my family and friends. I am sorry to hear the news. Should you decide to try things a bit to the south, I would be happy to put in a word for you down here. Probably a bit boring for you, but you would definitely be overly qualified and they are always looking for help. They have the automations department, which my brother could tell you about, or, there is always the machining part of the job. Better scenery and plenty of gun clubs near by. Good luck Og and hope thing go your way.

Sorry to hear that. Good luck with your job search!

I’ve been out for 5 months. 62 1/2 with no prospects. It’s tough for old farts.
God luck and G-d bless.

In my prayers, remember God shuts doors for a reason. Usually there is a better one opening!

What Rob C said!
This is my fear, they set me free at my age and I can’t find work with health coverage then end up on a .g0v death panel list.
But I’ll be cheering you on in those good prospects, first.
And pray that your new gig comes with a much deserved raise, withal.

You can put me in the tally book as well.
Take care!

Damn. The employment jungle is pretty hard on the more experienced. Specially if the H1B roaches have infested your profession. Much luck….

Good luck in your search. They send you out as the face of the company and the let you go. I would bet they are close to shuttering the place. Prayers you find a fit soonest.

Prayers offered Og & family. Wondering when (not if) this will happen here. Business is tight everywhere and worse in the Midwest, compounded even more in the defense sector. 14 months to retirement if the economy does not tank before.

Sorry to read this… as said above you represented the company in sometimes difficult circumstances.. perhaps when things settle out you may wish to share the cause… it does sound as if company was bought out, downsized, etc. Wishing you the best of luck on the job front… was in the same straits years ago and have no wish to ever experience it again

Lord, please open the door you would like brother Og to find and guide him to it, amen.
Remington has opened a plant a couple hours North of me in Huntsville. Just sayin’. It’s going to be 70 here tomorrow and Saturday. Just sayin’. :)

Skill and experience are always marketable. Good luck.
Prayers sent up… but you’re such a talented guy that I know you’ll be snapped up quickly.
Wow.
I just got hit a week ago.
Lot’s of work out there for someone like you it seems.
I’ve been getting a lot of bites.
Yeah, like I said, prospects good
Ah that sucks
Maybe you need to be where people truly appreciate the good thing they got.
What a dumbass move on their part.
Praying for all of us under- and unemployed folks. Pulling for you, dear Og.

Hope you find something great and fast.
May things end up better than you expect. All the best to you.
You’d be most welcome in Texas, sir.
