I know exactly where you are coming from. At first I went through depression (even crying on some days) and anger; my anger was not that they had sold the company. After all, it is theirs and they have every right to do with it what they want. Rather I was angry that so much of my (and others') time had been wasted sitting in front of a computer screen and being told that nobody knew where the work was. THAT, not the sale of the company, is the source of my dismay. I am a straight-shooter type of person and value that quality in others, too. I believe that what they were doing by telling us they did not where the work was used to be referred to as DISSEMBLING in earlier days and times. Not exactly a bold-faced lie, but mighty darn close. If they had just said Well, we are preparing for some changes in the company and likely the work situation will change drastically permanently, I would have said Well, I honestly wish you good luck with your new venture (and meant it) and left right then to pursue work elsewhere. I really tried in my resignation to be professional. It is not the people I have issues with (I have in the past had much gratitude for many of the people in the company); it is the fact of offshoring in general that makes me furious. The proper place, I suppose, to address offshoring is not here but in a political forum. When all of this hit the fan, I had to look at what I, as a lowly MT, could do to make an impact for my point of view, and unfortunately, that made it necessary for me to quit. I simply could not support offshoring. I think it is morally wrong. From my POV, you are either on the side of the American worker or you are not. You cannot be in favor of offshoring on some occasions and not on others. That is tantamount to being a little bit pregnant. Others can and will disagree. But I did what I could, I now have a brand new gig starting Monday, and I am going to move forward and wish everyone the best, no grudges, no regrets. I learned many valuable lessons from this and hopefully this old gal can pick herself up, dust herself up and move forward. Stiff upper lip.
