Wrap It Up

Most of the last few days have been spent in wait. My old company has yet to respond to a request that they re-evaluate the severance offered to me. To be frank, and because the details are still being hammered out, I simply told them it was insufficient. Based on the length of my employment and, in my view, the dedication I exhibited to the company through the years, I thought they owed me better. So, I told them so in a letter and asked that they take a few things into consideration. Plus, this offer was based on their “restructuring” of the company. That’s the same “restructuring” that lost me a job. I find it ludicrous, ironic, and illogical that they would attempt this excuse. Clearly, my employment is not constituted beneath the statutes of their “restructuring.” I will not be hindered beneath their new rules.

But still, it is annoying to have to wait. I’d think they’d want to address the issue as soon as possible so that we can all put this behind us. Plus, I need to file for unemployment with the state. When unemployment kicks in is dependent on how long my severance will last. As well, I need to defer my student loans and I need proof of unemployment. But if I receive the offer I put forth, I might not want to defer all my loans since one of them is nearly paid off. I’ll be able to close out that account and put one more thing out of my mind. Let’s wrap this up, people.
