So DH called me yesterday around 2:30 PM and asked me to come pick him up from work (he drove a company vehicle), he sounded VERY upset so I didn't ask Q's I just left to pick him up. My mind was racing, and in my heart I knew what had happened. He'd been having problems with a new manager and the people in his department have been dropping like flies for the last 2 months. Even one of his managers was close to be fired but ended up agreeing to be demoted just to save his job. About 2 weeks ago DH had told the new managers in one of their countless "meetings" that he was looking within the company for another position. He had something lined up in another department and was just waiting for them to have an opening so he could transfer. I think they wanted him gone. DH is a Team Player but he will speak his mind if he thinks something is wrong.
DH was with the company for 7 years (he's only 27), had in full insurance for both of us and a 401k, even had a pension plan! (which the company has since discontinued but he was grandfathered in) He is young but he had planned on retiring from this company. He's sad, and I am sad for him because his dreams have been crushed under some grubs heel without any regard for his service and loyalty towards his company for the past 7 years.
We were just starting to get caught up on all our bills and were planning on starting to pay off all our credit lines. This has caught us completely off guard, we didn't have any plan in place in case one of us lost our income. I have FAITH we will be OK, but this next month is going to be VERY tight for us and I just want to come through the other side with my credit and marriage unscathed.
I wanted to share this with someone. I don't talk to DH about it because I know he is grieving for the loyalty and sweat he put into 7 years of his life as well as concerned about what he is going to do next. I don't want to put my anxiety on his shoulders. I just tell him I love him and how sorry I am he has to go through this and that I support him no matter what.
