I got a new job! I start Monday.
In the beginning of March, 5 days after I turned 60, I was let go from the job I held for the last 25 years. I had almost a year of severance, but what was I going to do? I always intended to end my career there.
After months of depression, a cancer scare (thank God it was not) and trying to get hired on as a contractor with my former employer, karma got me a new job!
For years, when we needed outside counsel, I hired a woman I know. She moved firms, and every time I did what was necessary to get her on our approved list of outside counsel. Well, she hired me! And I am making twice what I was at my former firm.
My husband said "What do I always say? Everything works out in the end" Well, he is married to a pessimist (I think most lawyers are pessimists).
Any other unemployment stories that turn out great in the end?
