The new distribution center for Amazon in Liberty has been begging for employees for the last few months. They send out flyers and since I am a prime member they have my email addy. They say all positions so I suppose you wouldn't be on the line packing. Dont know if its open yet but I know its soon.


I went through what you are a little over 10 years ago. I had 36 years as a land surveyor for a major engineering firm in KC. The old guard running the company overextended growth with the new management. Paid more attention to energy and transportation instead of longstanding real estate and construction companies. I saw good people get the buyout and it finally got to me. I took the buyout and 2 days later had a job with larger energy and transportation energy firm in Kansas. One year later my old company sold to a firm out of Iowa to get into the energy and transportation they had established. A year after the purchase they clear nearly all the employees that were left. Now they contract a lot of their field crews from us to do the work. They are thriving and I couldn't be happier where I am now. I don't get out to the field as often but I'm 66 and retirement is on the horizon first will be my new knees when I get around to biting the bullet.

Good luck GB you will have no trouble finding work if you want it.

Here's one that came recommended by a friend. This girl lived near me.

They connect older workers to government work. Hers were pretty long term contracts, like technical writing for the park service with paid travel to national parks. Shes had excellent experience with it. Exciting time for sure!

George, idk how you feel about Florida. But there’s a massage parlor in south Florida that is looking for help. Supposedly there are lots a very rich clients that frequent the place. Not supposed to say names, but one of the billionaires names that goes there rhymes with Rob Raft. They pay pretty well I’ve heard. Just a suggestion.



Just kidding bro, hope you find a better job asap. I don’t wish unemployment on anyone. I remember the last recession hit, and I couldn’t find work to save my life. Had a family to support, and literally couldn’t find work. I remember it vividly. Second worst time of my life. Hope you find something more rewarding quickly. I feel like you’re a positive person, and good things usually come to those type of people.

My dad told me “don’t ever love your company because it’ll never love you back”. And he owned a company so I believed him. However I’ve been with mine a long time and am a constant advocate for it, publicly, to all employees I meet.

That said when the day comes I get whacked, I won’t be surprised at all. Best of luck to you George

I celebrate 28 years in June, but feel your pain.

I never know when my career will end, could be this week. It can be nerve racking, if you think about it too much.

I'll reiterate what others have said.

You'll land on your feet. I don't see it going down any other way.

Good fortune to you!

I've been there. It sucks getting let go because they can find cheaper and younger replacements.

Good luck to you my friend. I have no doubt you'll land on your feet in an even better situation.

On the bright side, it's at happening when things are somewhat back to normal and not when covid forced everyone to their homes. That and the demand is still pretty hot all things considered.

I'd recommend flipping a bit of money to a professional on fiver or something similar to review your resume, linkedin, etc. and talk to some recruiters.

Seems daunting to spend some money when you're out pf work and recruiters suck, but let's face it dude. The job market has changed a lot since you last looked.

You gotta know how to hit them keywords just right on the atupid resume scanners to even have a shot now.

I'm sure Bobby gives good tips for a rubby and tuggy. I don't need money that badly!

That's good advice. I hate that these computer bots just look for buzzwords. Lots of the sites that list jobs are crammed with weasel speak and BS generated motivational hype. On a lot of the listings, you can't even figure out what the company does! Miss the old days when you could type up a resume, put on a suit, walk into the business and talk to the owner. Sell yourself in person. That's how I got most of my jobs in the past. Brave new world. And there's a LOT of age discrimination against people older than 50.

He's been unemployed more times than I have.
