[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP ~ you say that his work situation is miserable. It might happen that this will/can change. Is he doing all he can to fit in with the new bosses? Probably easier, in this economy, to work on the job he has. [/quote]

OP. He has tried to change his work situation, but it's pretty hopeless. His immediate boss likes him a lot, and his division is making money (others are losing money), so he's hanging in there, but the higher up bosses don't want him around so he has no hope of advancing (and he's underemployed as it is). It's an 'out with the old' sort of thing.

To the pp who asked why I don't work, there are very good reasons. But I didn't post to talk about me. I posted to ask for advice and empathy for my DH who is really suffering. I'm holding things together as best I can. If I worked part time it would make things worse.  Plus, DH isn't out of work, he's just frustrated and confounded that he can't find another job at his age. He is unhappy where he is and needs to leave.

Thanks so much for all the supportive posts. I'd love to hear more success stories! It's amazing that a few kinds words from a stranger can make a difference, but they do. [/quote]
