When it rains, it pours....

Postby Deadeye » Tue Nov 04, 2014 8:59 am

Laterly it seems that I'm living out John 16:33, the trials and tribulations keep coming. My faith remains unshaken!

I told you fella's about my wife having breast cancer, she's doing awesome. I can't thank yall enough for the thoughts, prayers, advice and outpuring of support!!!! She's started chemo and has already lost her hair, that was a tough day on her even though we were prepaired. What we wasn't prepaired for was last week... I was informed my company is going thru another restructure and my job was eliminated, along with 90% of my team. After 24 years of loyal employment, it comes to an end on 12/31. It's been a great ride to have worked for a great company....

Starting the next chapter in my life is a complete unknown at this point and having never been in an open job market in this day and time is somewhat nervewrecking, but still I'm at peace. I'm committed to going in the direction that the Lord leads me, He got me this far.

All that said, I'll gladly take advice from any of you that has been in similar position. What to do with pension, retirement, etc. What type of recruiting service to use, etc.

The questions are many. Prayers welcomes!

Sent brother....

I just went through this this past summer.....get a financial man you trust and move your retirement do not take it out.

Pension will help out while looking for a job.....the faster you find one the faster you can save that.

Good luck and prayers sent.....The lord has a plan for you.

What type of work are you looking for? I'll keep my eye open. I know of a few where I'm employed (manufacturing sector) but I'm in North Ms.
Not sure what you are looking for or if you want to move.


Prayers for you and your wife.
How do you like your Hope and Change?

Todd - You already know this, but remember, if he leads you to it, he'll lead you through it.

I have no advice on pension or retirement, but if you are on LinkedIn, maybe there are recruiters that can help.
you are in my prayers.

Prayers going up for your wife and family..

I know a guy that used to work for Coke and left a few years ago and went to work for Budweiser. Might be a place you can call or check online to see if they have any spots. I'll text him and see if he knows of anything over there.

Todd,

I talked with my friend at Brown Bottling Group. He said to send him your resume. I am going to PM you his email address.

Prayers on the way from SW TN
I am interested in purchasing duck calls that were made by Mike McLemore. I am a family member and they have a sentimental value.
