Nice timing. Now you can get yourself a nice Christmas gift, as well as getting gifts for others.
What a wonderful feeling to know that people at work appreciate your work.

Now think about this: Would it have cost them any money if the message was something like this..."Please come to Human Resources. Don't worry it's good." That way you would have been spared the thoughts about getting fired.

It would have been nice if my bosses had mentioned it before they left for the holidays. I had never met the human resources person before. I got an email saying to go to a specific conference room.

since surviving a reduction in force of 2/3s of the people at my company which has since been taken over by a company located in a different state, i'm just hoping i won't be blindsided and they'll give me a final date.

to live with your welfare in some bean-counter's hands. Not trying to be a downer, just...that's what it is.

I should add that my company is really great. The people are very nice. Trump is quite disliked. I was laid off suddenly from my last company so I kind of prepare myself just in case. Plus, I was at my old company for three years without a raise. I have been at this company for a year and they gave me a very nice raise. It is nice to feel appreciated.

And right before the holidays! Thanks for sharing your news with us.

I think even we here at DU can get a little tunnel-visioned about all of the bad news in the world. It's great to get pulled out of that for such a good reason! You should spoil yourself just a little this Christmas.
