Greg, I am really very sorry to hear. Yo are right about Corporate America and it is wrong to give a one day notice. You are in my prayers my friend.

I want to thank all of you for my support.This board is really "Family" and I appreciate all of the prayers and good words.You people are the BEST! Got to go and file for unemployment tomorrow.I feel strange because I have never been unemployed in my whole life.My Ford boss said that he heard on the news last night that Visteon was letting go 5,000 contract employees.It does not matter what positions they have.That is going to tighten up the local job market real bad.

Sorry to hear the news Greg. I know how you feel. Same thing happened to me 2 years ago. Then I found work local and they let me go as well. (Corporations...sheesh) Good luck in your search. Not the best of times to be out. I also worry about my 35th. Something has to come along soon. Hang in there pal...your not the only one..

I worked for Visteon which was Ford and was spun off by Ford in 2000. So I worked in a Ford building with a Ford ID badge and e-mail address,but handled calls from Ford Dealers that has a electronic body module concern that was a Visteon made module.So I had a Ford boss and a Visteon boss. Hope that make sense!Now my Ford boss is trying to get me back and I will be working only for Ford then. Did I say I hate Visteon for doing that to me and giving me a bad week?
