Thanks Duffer. I worked for a crowd you might know of, Georgia Pacific. I put my best into that company for 15 years, and was considered 1 of the best machine operators they had, and thats without blowing my own trumpet. I was the 1 who was usually called in when they had trouble. Rarely missed a day, and i was one of those people who actually loved the job.
Got made redundant just over 2 years ago myself, and my 15 years experience counts for nothing nowadays. I also lost the pension i paid into for those 15 years, and now have nothing to show for it. Screwed? you bet, but i gotta look on the bright side, if there is 1, lol.
I wish you the best as well Duffer, as i know how it feels big time.
