Yesterday was a SHOCK

Shock, yes that's what it was like.  I'm still not over it but we will deal with it! On Friday at about 4:00 Bob's team leader call him here at home. He terminated his employment at American Express as of that time. He was told he fell below the 5% matrix he must maintain. This was in March and they received these numbers that day. Bob did the math and called them back because he was not below but at the 5% mark. HR said the they have to no go below 10% and he signed a paper saying that. Bob did not remember signing any paper like that. And they are always saying  "don't go below the 5%".
Bob has come home daily telling about people that have been fired for ticky-tack reasons. There have been several stories. Bob has not been worried because he has done nothing wrong. OH WELL - there goes that theory!
I felt so bad for Bob! He looked like he had just given me the death sentence. I have to have TPN (feeding tube food - about $1500 a bag that I use daily) or have this small intestine transplant that I should be leaving for in 2 weeks. The Insurance was already approved! We will have to get a new job asap and pay for cobra insurance so I can still have the operation.
So if you know of any opportunities for Bob, let us know!
Somehow, someway, we WILL get through this. We are letting the Lord lead us.  He knows the big picture.  We just know the here and now!
