On one hand,

On the other, as my wife still works there.

JFC talk about good timing. New job starts Monday. At home getting crap done this week.

**Timeline for closure TBD. I have no info other then it's happening**

We suspected this was coming, but not until much later in the year - possibly even next.

Relatively sure we will be ok as my wife's position is in hot demand. And there is likely to be a generous severance package.

Feel bad for the other folks. Happy I won't be competing for jobs with them though.

Lots of mixed emotions.

This would be the first job I've had in my adult life where I have not been laid off.

How does your your new employer feel about nepotism?

Not going that route again. Company #2 we've worked at together. Technology, for whatever reason, is inherently unstable as a career field. Not putting us in a position where all of our eggs are in one basket ever again.

I drove by a former employee once to see the entire building shut down. It can be scary to think what it would be like to go down with the ship.
