What do you do when you have worked for a company for 15 years, and you see it falling apart?

One good thing about capitalism, if it don't work, it don't survive.  The business owner should recognize this and make necessary changes soon.  You have two options, write a resume'\nor ride out the storm.  You have to evaluate which will occur, will the owner step in to make necessary changes or will he let it fold?  If it won't fold, is it worth riding out to remain with who knows what at the other end?  I find it easier to look for a more stable company but this keeps me from advancing as fast as if I were the guy that sticks out the storms and contributes to the healing process.

Talk to a lawyer and sue your old insurance company.

If it's something that can't be proven by continuing to do your work and be ignored, then I would ask to speak to your immediate supervisor and explain the situation and that you are worried it will affect the company and ask for their advice. That way, they know you are aware of it, that it is untrue, and that you are concerned about how it makes the company look.

Better be looking for another job when you take it off.\n\nCoach

this is a two part problem - at least.\nWhen equipment (or software)no longer meets a companies need it has to be upgraded or replaced.\nWhen either is no longer supported (called end of life cycle) it is best to be ready to dump the old stuff. The cost and over head of supporting interally (within the company) hardware and software that you do not have resources for runs very high. \n    Someone has to maintain equipment - as a rule it is best to do so under warrenty, unless your company is so large it has a full staff for softwae and hardware. Otherwise outsource it and cut the overhead. \nCarl

That's a tough situation to be in and yes I do understand the anger and fustration, but as you said how would your suing the current employers look to future employers and plus you are still young and very qualified so why not try applying for another job maybe in the same area or even do something else parttime so that you can make the money to move back home. Hey I left a well paying job recently as I was promised a better paying job only to be told that they changed their minds and so here I am a university graduate working at a call centre making minimum wage. So sometimes when life hands you lemons hey make lemonade with it, you never know, there may be much better in store for you somewhere else and you will look back at this and just smile.

My advice is to stay where you are until you find something better. I honestly don't think a person should stay at a job that not only do they not like, but also that is a dead end. It can be depressing, believe me I know (same situation). I'll take what they will give for now until something better comes along.

Any time you merge companies, there will be a lot of detail that will change the time frame. (Nobody thought to figure out which company's coffee filters to use...)\n\nBecause you're in a state of flux, you have some options. Option one is that you can decide that the atmosphere is too uncomfortable there, so you can resign and move on. Option two is that you can hang in there and wait for all of the details to be ironed out - and while the corporations are doing that, you can be putting that 'business as usual' face on for your customers and the public. This option has rewards. For your faithful service during the transition period, the company will reward you with a severance package, which is a way of saying, "Thank you. We needed you, and you hung in there with us."\n\nBy the way, you now have a new target date of March '07. It's entirely possible that the new joint company will see that your department actually IS necessary, and they may offer you a long term employment. \n\nBest of luck to you. - Stuart

I think you should call the company

No room for growth.\nEmployer did not support personal goals.\nReached potential with that employer and need new challenges.\n\nUnfortunately, honesty is NOT the best policy in this case, but be creative, and DO NOT bash your old employer.

Leave the company. As I have had to learn many times, it isn't your company, so it isn't your worry. If the company goes under, it isn't you that pays the price for it. You lose your job, get unemployment and get another job. It is the owner who failed that suffers the most.

No. I was loyal and honest and hard working for an employer for 10 1/2 years, and he fired me with NO notice and treated me like crap with absolutely no reason. i'm sure it was from bad politics and back stabbing.\n \nSo your 9 years of service was valuable and he doesn't like you quitting because you were good. That should make you feel good. Imagine if he said "good riddance!"\nUnfortunately for employees the good they do for their employers is always in the past, and no debts are owed on either side when they part company.\nIf it is a huge problem for them, for you to be gone on a weeks notice, then they weren't running their company properly, and it's not your fault. It'll do them good to learn that lesson.\nJust for future reference, you didn't have to tell your boss you were going to a competitor.

Start a union movement...........that's the best way these days to stick to any company...........even if it don't pass, just the litigation's and the cost, and humanity they will have to endure will be enough..................\n    or you can just live by what goes around comes around........sooner or later those that do harm to others will get whats coming to them........and you won't have to do anything...because if you do "what goes around comes around"

Call the company that you worked for.  They can resend.

Think about your lungs. Companies don't care about you. They only care about their product and making money. I know this is a new job for you, but is it worth the misery????

You definitely do not want to burn any bridges. Diplomacy is the key, regardless of how you feel about the job. Do not allow your emotions to surface (at home of course you can break a few plates). Keep searching for a job after regular business hours and do not leave any option unexplored. When the right opportunity knocks, follow the company policies, and most importanly follow up with most influential people at your old company from time to time. Never complain or raise issues since you never know when they will come to haunt you. Best of luck
