OK, after my mild panic attack, I realized that Hubby's "out-placement" is a blessing in disguise.
This job was in his field, but in his safe zone. He was not challenged nor did he have the room for professional growth that he deserves. It had safe tasks, safe salary, safe benefits. What fun is life without a few risks, right? Now he has the opportunity to find a job with wider range, that will challenge him and help him to grow. He will get the salary he deserves and the benefits package will be better suited for us. He will find an employer willing to wait until after his separation date so he can get the severance package he deserves. Most importantly this change will lead to a happier family.
