Every employee is replaceable, and in the 21st century very few employers value long-term, loyal employees...I speak from personal experience on this.

You are right very few employees are valued anymore. At my job they should be because they get the work done. I worked for the government and I see what goes around. Some doing as little as possible because they will not get fired. I wasn’t like that. Actually I put my house up for sale last year and got a buyer right away. They are even willing to wait for us to move.
My son is getting married in April and my husband wants to wait until he gets married and move. This is what is killing me. I should not have retired so soon.
I have been having conversations with you before and we both talking about moving to TV. My mind keeps on changing back and forth about moving but I think we will move. We cannot afford to live here and live in a bigger house, with the snow (it is suppose to snow today) and high taxes.
But my retirement wasn’t planned and I took an early buyout. Have I planned it better, I think I would have felt better. That is a major decision and I think my job should have given us more time to think perhaps 3 weeks instead of 1 to come back.
