So Josh lost his job yesterday. To say we were shocked is an understatement.
Josh found out on Monday that his boss was out by the end of the week. Josh would be getting demoted from maintenance manager to technician. But they were offering him severance if he left this week. Since we are in absolutely no position to be without income, we didn’t think the severance was an option. We decided that even though they obviously wanted him out, Josh would stick it out and hope for the best.
Yesterday morning Josh talked to his boss and it was made clear to him that if he didn’t take the severance they would be getting rid of him without it quickly. Apparently the new boss didn’t want to work with Josh. So at 2:00 Josh turned in his keys and officially became unemployed.
I have spent the past two days crying, feeling like I’m going to puke, and then laughing out of ridiculousness. I’m so incredibly angry. Josh has worked his butt off for this company for the past four years and for what? He went in on Christmas, worked Sundays, has been on call 24/7 with no time off. He has literally kept the place running. What a giant slap in the face. So much for working for a good Christian company, right? The owner of the company is lucky I never run into him. I have a few choice words I would like to say.
I’m really proud of Josh though. He has always stood up for himself, always did what he thinks is right and worked hard. He is leaving with his morals intact.
So here we are…blindsided, unemployed, and unsure of the future.
praying for you!
I honestly don’t know how they think they will operate without him. Love you guys, and praying for you.
So sorry to hear about this, Kimberly. I don’t even know what to say in a situation like this to make it better. Just praying some good comes your way very soon.
Prayers for you and your family!
so sorry to hear this Kimberly. I’ll pray for your family and will send some light your way.
