Sad Day!

Well I had to let my trailer go, I took $500 less than I owed but needed to cut the bill because I lost my job of 30 years. Maybe someday it will get replaced, but for now I have lots of trailer accessories to sell...

  • They called me into a meeting room and started the conversation with me and as long as I live, I'll never forget it. There was no "Hello, how are you doing today." There was no introduction, for example, "You were called to this meeting because we need to talk about something." There was nothing. I walked in, there was my boss and someone from Human Resources and a check on the table.

    I walked in. Stood there. They looked at me, and the words out of their mouth was, "As of this moment you no longer have a relationship with this company."

    I stood there for a minute, never said a word. I took the check and turned around and walked out the door. Going out, she said, "You need to read that paper and you don't need to make any decisions at this moment."

    She caught up with me as I bolted out the door, and at my desk was someone else from HR with a box. I didn't say a word. I boxed up and walked out the door.

    Then when I got to my car, I wished there would have been an earth quake and swallowed up the entire building. And, I still wish that on them. However, they went completely out of business, sold out and forever gone, eventually!

    I STILL wish, after almost 20 years, the owner of that company would end up in jail in some foreign country where all he has to eat are bugs crawling on the floor!

    Funny though, life evolved for me, and I ended up working for the next company. Been there almost 20 years now.

    If they fired me now, I'm old enough now to quit anyway and draw Social Security. If that happened, and I've told my boss over and over again, I'd become an RV salesman somewhere part time and draw Social Security. I think they think I'm serious, so they keep me around. Funny how reverse psychology works on folks.
  • Yeah sure could have be worse, I have had it for sell for 3 months so I got lucky on that. I have levelers, xchocks, sewer hoses, folding step, 30 to 50 dogbone, just about everything that is needed.
  • Sorry to hear about the job but $500 loss could have been much worse. What all do you have left over?
  • Losing a 30 year job, that's a real kick in the teeth. Glad to hear you could unload the TT without a huge loss.
