I wish I could quit... I've been laid off 3 times in the last 4 years...... Really getting tired of it. My plans of retiring at 60 and sailing away for a while have been shot to hell.

I feel for you Bo---when I got fired at 58 I was feeling a little shaky about the future as well. Things do have a tendency to work out.

When they called me on January 6, 2018 after they had their say I explained to them that I was just waiting on Medicare that financially I could leave that day. I also told them I was meeting with a financial advisor to see my options. So in 2018 I got a dog, a house and a pontoon boat. So when they called me back in in March of this year, while they were going through their speal I was thinking of the thinks I need to do. Two week later I told them that April 17 would be my last day. My driver/manager just looked at me and I pointed to the screen with all the points for different videos.
Now I could see if I had wrecked a tractor or damaged a trailer or even ruined a load of freight but it was nothing like that. I had followed a car too close after it had cut into my lane and I did not apply the breaks. Or I stopped too fast for a red light. The one I liked was I had exceeded the number of lane departures. The could not even explain what that was.
I told them more than once in the last few years that I used to enjoy my job when I drove a truck but I hate video games.
Tomorrow I pick up a U-haul trailer and have to men coming to help load everything from my shed and head to Nebraska. Will be back in mid-July to get the fifth wheel and will come back in November to Quartzsite for the winter. Working on a plan where I can bring the boat back for the winter.

I remember on particular employee who left. Her notice was running down the hall and crying. She never came back.
