[QUOTE="Ranger107, post: 573939, member: 4357"] Same thing happened to me in 2009. I hadn't been with the company that long but because of my background and expertise in my profession I was hired in at a rate significantly higher than anyone else making me the highest paid in the dept. When the economy went down the tubes in 08 and we parked half our a/c. I saw the writing on the wall. The HR manager was particularly po'd because I made more than him. I negotiated a lay off. Got 3 months severance, Cobra insurance for 18 months, and max unemployment for 18 months, a CA thing. Was a blessing in disguise. I worked contract for 3 years, on my schedule, then pulled the plug and went on SS at 64. Because of my 6+ salary I had banked enough to live comfortably and never looked back. I would have kept working because I loved my job, but all in all can't complain. Best of luck to you DW, hope it all works out for you. [/QUOTE]
