She texted I can't date an unemployed loser and dumped me the day I was laid off. She didn't know I had a 200 cow severance package and a better job lined up. Six weeks later, she saw my new car. Ann texted I believe in second chances. My reply destroyed her. I 32 mail, got the call at 10:00 AM on a Thursday, director of operations, wanted to see me....,

 Never good. Walked into the conference room. HR was there. That's when I knew we were restructuring. Your position's being eliminated. Today's SI our last day, eight years with a company just like that. But here's the thing, I saw it coming, not the exact timing, but the writing was on the wall for months.

Our department had been losing contracts. Budgets were tight, and mid rec supervisor had already jumped ship two months earlier. I've been quietly updating my resume, networking, interviewing. I actually had a verbal offer from a competitor for senior role. Better title, 35% pay bump, better benefits. Was waiting for the official offer letter to drop before giving notice.

Anyway, the severance package was insane. Company policy was two weeks per year of service, but they bumped it up because they were eliminating multiple senior positions and wanted toe avoid lawsuits. 16 weeks of pay plus and used PTO payout came out to just over 200 callers after taxes. Plus they were covering Cobra for six months.

Walked out of that building at noon with a box off me stuff and a severance agreement tour view. Called my girlfriend 28 on the drive home. We'd been together 18 months talking about moving in together soon. Hey, you free need to talk about something. I'm at lunch with my sister now. What's up? Got laid off this morning.

Silence then. Are you serious right now? Yeah. It's been rough, but I'll explain when I can't do this. Her voice went cold. I can't do what? I can't be with someone who doesn't have their life together. I need stability. I need a partner who can provide, I actually laughed, babe. It's a layoff if happens. How about savings?

And stop. Just stop. I've been thinking about this anyway. You're not where I need you Tob. I want a house kids security, not someone starting over at 32, starting over. I'm not, I'm breaking up with you that I need someone established. Someone successful, not she paused. Not any employed loser that hit different.

Wow. Okay then not, it's nothing personal. I just can't waste more time on someone who might not work out. Good luck with everything. She hung up, sat in my car in the parking garage for 10 minutes, just processing that woman I'd. Spent 18 months with, met her family. Talked about a future with going in three minutes, 'cause I lost a job..........,
