Hope it doesn't take long for you to find a better job. Stay strong, brother!
Remember everything happens for a reason. What comes next will be better. Like I awlways say, there's not much employment but there's plenty of work.

Sorry to learn of your situation.
I was 54 the first time, then after a year requested I come back. Fixed issues, then found new buyer and did again to me.
Found new job, worked 7+ years, then retired, (sort of turned the tables on that owner)..
Good luck going forward. Remember... it is not you, it is them!!!!
If I start and end the day above ground, it is a good day!
Hope yours is as good!

Sorry to hear that Gerhard.
Feels much better to quit than it does to be made redundant.
Hope something better turns up for you now.

Thanks guys
I'm the wrong colour for the politics of the day, I was on the Affirmative Action Committee and the Previously Advantaged Male representative, so I understand how much of burden we are on a company as the AA stats are concerned.
I ended up at this job after a Voluntary Separation process at the mine.....where the union dictated who must go, and I ended up at the mine following a retrenchment....company closed down.
This leaves me with no relevant qualifications, and now 4 years of experience in a specific industry which is zero use elsewhere.....
It would seem, and I'm not joking, that I'll be driving a cattle truck in the near future.
