FI's work update...

Thanks everyone for those words of encouragement! =)So yesterday when fi got home, he told me all the scoop. Looks like he was one of the lucky few. He said that when he got to work it was very empty, they already had let go most of the staff the same day. Fi and a few others are being kept to finish off the work the branch has left to do until Dec. 15th and he will get paid plus a bonus, severance pay, and 20 vacation days he has accumilated. I guess is not too too bad. At least he'll still have a job until then and we have most wedding costs covered. It's quite a relief and like you girls said, we can go through this. I was supportive and did not cry infront of him =). Thanks everyone!

    YAY Vans! So glad he  has work till then and you have some notice to figure out some things. Glad he will get some $ at the end that's always sweet! That also gives him enough time to start looking for another job so hopefully maybe at the beginning of the year he'll have something lined up. I'm  a firm believer things happen for a reason and well maybe  a better job will be offered a better job :) I'm so happy for you Vans **BIG HUG**

    I so thought of you when my dad told me we need to sell the tickets :)I'm glad to hear that your situation isn't as bad as it COULD be. At least FI has more time to look for another job and he'll get some extra $$ for last minute wedding things. I also believe that things happen for a reason :)kudos for not crying in front of him!<3 nic

    I'm so glad to hear he'll get a severance and he has a little bit of a cushion! I'm still sending lots of good knottie vibes your way. :)

    Such good news, I'm glad to hear it! It will allow you to not stress so much and give him more time to get a new job once the current one ends. I'm glad things worked out better than you expected:)

    Hi Vans, I barely read your post today, I'm sorry about FI's job but glad to hear that they are giving him a bonus & severance pay, I'm sure everything will work itself out, and so far it seems that it is. Good job not crying in front of him and being a great supportive partner!

    I've been away for a few days, but I wanted to give you two my support and to let you know that this could be a good thing and you must always look on the bright side! When my FI was told that his entire department would be moving to Kansas and needed to find a new job, he ended up finding a job that paid a lot better and had better benefits than his old one. So I hope everything works out for you guys too!
