Laying people off?

Thankfully I've not been in that sort of position, but my family was coming back from Thanksgiving vacation this last year. When we got back into town we went to the Perkins restaurant near my place. It was ~6:45 or so, we ate and left by about 7:45. The next day we read in the paper that all the employees had been called in for a meeting at around 8 to learn that the place was closing effective the next day (after having been assured that they were going to remain open). Turns out the new owners decided to close down the Fort Collins and Loveland locations and keep the Greeley location.

Weird to think that I was among their last customers. Sucks that these people were out of work just before Christmas.

Ironically, the one in Greeley is closed now too.

I just applied and interviewed for a position at UCHealth at the Anshutz campus. Was in the top three candidates but did not get the position. I know the are going to expand in the near future so I will try again. I want to work for someone that more closely matches my core vaules and can and will be patient.

I will continue to be professional at my current position. We are working hard for retirement. Wife worked up our plan for paying off the last of our student loans (I went to grad school, wife finished her degree late in life), the cars and mortgage and be free to put away as much as we can in our last years of work.

But life is fluid and you have to plan for the worse and hope for the best.

Fingers crossed for it.
FWIW, I did my residency there and loved the place. Back then it was obviously 8th and Colorado Blvd. They had to throw me out.

Your point is well taken. I'm trying to decide right now if I can leave the security of a defined benefit for a new opportunity. I just don't know.

I might be wrong and it was the Loveland one that was to be kept open. But regardless, bad situation. (My family's decided that we're the death knell of any restaurant we frequent, as they tend to go under!)

Dang, this topic is unsettling
