Job eliminated

September 30, 2024, Monday afternoon, 4:49pm, pacific standard time, Home2Suites, Carlsbad, California, USA, room 104. Today started as usual, went for the Blue Lantern walk, worked out, took the dog for the full park wander about and then took my daughter to school and the dog to the vet. It was a stressful morning, so much happening at work; office closures, audits due, end of the quarter. Then at 11:30am, just as I was packing to travel to San Diego my boss called. My position was eliminated. I know longer work for the company. Just like that, two years and one and a half months done. I am still processing what happened. I have been laid off before. With those instances I had a slight idea it was happening. This was completely unexpected. I am cycling through the stages of loss; mostly Disbelief and anger. I need to decompress and regroup. The hotel in Carlsbad was already paid for so I came down for the night. Tomorrow I will plan next steps. Thankfully they gave me a generous severance so I have some time to be mindful of my next step.
