Well, today I was laid off from Medtronic. I had been there 12.5 years. I suspected this was coming, I get these 'feelings' and I have learned to trust them.
I think the worst part was how the process occurred. It was very impersonal - actually COLD. Guess my boss didn't have much to say to me, probably wasn't a fun day for him either. Another regret is that I am leaving my internal customer with a huge project, unfinished and with no project manager. I am not one to leave commitments uncompleted.
So, at least until Monday, I am on a break. We will celebrate Marissa's 13th birthday (late cuz she is heading off to a retreat tomorrow), relax for the weekend & I will enjoy Mother's Day.
The biggest question I have at the moment is "What do I want to do when I grow up?" I am praying for a clear answer.
I'm so sorry to hear that! Did you get a severance so you can have the summer off?
ReplyDeleteWell poop.
ReplyDeleteI've never had the warm fuzzies from Medtronic, so I'm not surprised that it was so impersonal. (My firm has connections to Medtronic.)
Good luck with the next chapter of your life!
