Our work week started out Monday morning with my little guy's mom telling me (even before she told our bosses) that she was giving her notice. So I'm losing my last staff child. Got to stew about possibly losing my job the rest of Monday and into Tuesday.
Tuesday, met with my supervisors and bottom line is that they are going to find me additional duties to keep me full time. A blessing as I sure didn't want to lose my insurance.
Today was our staff meeting, where the rest of the staff were to be informed of the changes.
An hour before staff meeting, I got an email from Steve. His last day at Magna will be Friday. Not enough work right now.
Staff meeting was emotional, but went well. I got a really good feeling of support as I move into a new role at Gilda's. That won't be until August 12. I won't know exactly what my added duties will be like until after I return from vacation next week. (next week is the scout international camporee.)
As for Steve, we'll see. First decision is COBRA vs. putting him on my insurance. It'll be $425 a month for my insurance to cover him, not sure about the current COBRA figures yet. He has already updated his resume, and I've already forwarded it to someone on Gilda's staff who knows someone at a company that may be hiring in Steve's field right now. Unemployment will kick back in in the meantime.
And there is always the option of going ahead and retiring. Our financial advisor said before that we could swing it if we wanted to.
Ah, the trials and tribulations of working!
