18 Years Loyal Employee Getting Fired Tomorrow - What Now? 😭

Hey everyone, I'm literally shaking as I write this. After 18 years of dedicated service, I'm getting laid off tomorrow. I'm 42, and honestly feeling lost right now 💔 The worst part? My skills are so specialized to this company that I can't even take my client relationships elsewhere. It's like starting from absolute zero in my 40s, which terrifies me. I'm trying to stay positive - I've got some real estate investments and turned my spare property into an Airbnb that's doing okay. But going from a steady corporate salary to cleaning rental units? That's a reality check I wasn't ready for 😅 I keep thinking about all those years I chose work over everything else. Now what do I have to show for it? Has anyone been through something similar? How did you rebuild at this age? I really need some encouragement right now 🙏 #jobless #careerchange #midlifecrisis #JobCareer #Career

Facing My Last Day at Work: Nervous About Early Retirement! 😬

Today is my last day at work, and honestly, my nerves are all over the place. My husband and I have planned for this moment for years—we’re officially hitting FI/RE (Financial Independence, Retire Early) tomorrow. On paper, everything checks out, but I can’t shake the anxiety of losing the security blanket of my job. Work has always been stressful, with office politics and constant pressure to perform. I’ve dealt with difficult coworkers, endless meetings, and the fear of not meeting expectations. Now, as I step away, I’m worried about how I’ll adjust to the sudden drop in income and the loss of daily structure. Has anyone else felt this way before making a big life change? How did you handle the uncertainty? I’d love to hear your advice or experiences. 😊 #JobCareer #CareerChange #Retirement
