Gave my notice today at work. After 37 years with the same company. Start January 12th at the new job. Get a holiday the following Monday. I get holidays I didn't get before.

Last day at work yesterday. I walked out the door at 5 with not a soul around. Just a note to leave my truck keys and key card on the desk and my final check was on my desk. This is the respect I get after 37 years of service? Just show yourself out. Nothing more then my normal check, no thanks, and since you quit your not getting last years bonus even though the fiscal year ended in October. I was really disapointed with them. I guess it was time to move on.

Man, that's pretty crummy treatment after all those years.

That does suck but seems the way things are now. When I got laid off after 37+ years it was via a phone call, they couldn't even do it in person.

Good luck tomorrow on your new job Ray.

I more or less got the same kind of shaft from my place after 34 years. Oldest guy there and been there the longest.......they did downsize, from 2 shops with 45 guys to 1 shop and 5 guys. That was in 2008, now they are still in 1 shop but have 30 of the old employees back and are workin 60 hrs a week.

Starting to settle in some. Still lots to learn but getting more use to sitting behind a desk. Been outside or on the road most of my life. Hard to believe I have been here almost a month next week.
