Sorry to hear that. It happened

to me in 2009. After 29 years with the same company,and having the #1 ranked sales team in the nation,I was notified on a conference call that my entire division was being eliminated due to a merger. Everything worked out well and I am sure it will for you. The fundamentals of the economy are strong and,once we get past the virus,there will be opportunities.
