Very sorry to hear that!! Wish you the best of luck!
My wife worked for a family owned business for about 8yrs, the family made the coupon books, Dynamate, and she had a review one day and the owner praised her for all the hard work and long hours she put in during their busy season(fundraiser season for schools) and even gave her a dollar raise, week later her and her girlfriend went to lunch and when they got back they were told there was a meeting for the publishing dept, and they canned all the girls, 18 of them! No warning, nothing. I knew something was up cause every time she would call on her break she would tell me she was training some new chick, I told her to be careful and to keep all the little "secrets" that she had learned from over the years to herself. She said oh no they wont fire me, in the end it was like 30 people they fired so they could hire new workers that they could pay minimum wage.
In the end it worked out for the best, she now works 5 mins up the road from our home for the same money she made at other place, 30 miles from home so it was like an extra hundred in her pay every week because of less miles she had to drive. And she gets pretty good perks at this place and will be the boss in 2 yrs when her boss retires!
I work for myself now for past 3yrs and could not even imagine having a boss again.
So good luck to you and your family!! And sorry for the long story!!
