Getting laid off may be the best thing that could happen to you.
When the former largest employer in Wichita decided to transfer all the engineers out because their association affiliated with the IAM my wife, native Witchitan, who also refused to leave realized that if she was going to live in the manor she had become accustomed we might have to make some changes. She gave a different location a try. She is also an employed engineer.
Cross train to a different field (liaison to manufacturing ???) not for me. In the "self made man" and "help wanted in Wichita" posts of a couple years ago you seem to be doing what you wanted when you set out.
Leaving that place was probably the best thing for
OUR family. Here I am talking about the group that lives together day to day.
Note: I held back on all the adjectives that flashed to mind in describing that place.
