Nail Biting Time
The good news is that when I returned to May Co., I negotiated my original date of service of 1979 as my start date, so my severance would be pretty good. The bad news is that Federated and May are only $2 away from making a deal. http://cbs.marketwatch.com/news/story.asp?guid=%7B2988F48C-A992-48C4-A115-CE5BD8E31B47%7D&siteid=google&dist=google
We keep thinking this thing has died down, and we can move ahead with business as usual. Only to find out that talks are ongoing with Federated. If May Co. is sold, I doubt there would be a St. Louis office, and hundreds of people would be out of jobs. We probably wouldn't be dissolved quickly, but I doubt we'd be in tact for more than a year.
This would give Dave and me the opportunity to make our move south. The only reason I don't want to move yet is because I don't want to give up my job. But if the decision is made for me, then as long as I'm looking for another job, it may as well be in South Carolina, and we can cut our out of state tuition bill.
Hopefully, this will be over soon, and we can get on with our lives.
