So for the first time in 35+ years, I am unemployed. It feels really strange not going to work. In July, we got a new commissioner at the Department of Public Safety. On July 28th he set up a meeting with me for September 12th. I thought possibly a new assignment or job responsibilities. Nope, it was the end of the line. The letter was already typed and the decision had already been made. I was being terminated. My last day was September 26th.
The previous commissioner was retiring, so his position was announced in June. The interview process went through June. I applied for the position and was one of five people who interviewed for the position.
Not sure if the new commissioner was uncomfortable with the fact that I had applied for his job, which he got, or what.
So, I have updated the resume and have started to apply for positions.
Kind of a bitter pill to swallow that after 30 years, I was just let go. Luckily I have my Master's Degree and some good work experience that should help me find another job.
