That seems to be the modus operandi with Dell now. Show up Friday morning only to be told that today is your last with the company after decades employed with the company.
Why can't they let long term employees know they'll be laid off ? Especially employees at or near retirement age. So I treat every Friday as if it's my last. But it sure is tempting to simply leave now.
The only reason for my staying is for the cheaper cost of health insurance, which I'm still carrying our older kids on, and a better retirement lifestyle. But yeah, I treat every Friday expecting it to be my last.
