Tomorow Doc will let me go back to work... Got a phone call pink slip this morning
Advertisements [?]
Jobs have been eliminated due to "blah blah blah". I have been out of work for four months while I was doing cardio rehab from a heart attack. I have been calling my doc pushing for an appointment so I could get back to work before I got on the "shit list". Well I am supposed to see his NP tomorrow for that purpose but found out today that they are putting me on the chopping block.

I get severance so I don't know if I can get unemployment or COBRA for medical expenses. What happens to my 401k/pension? What the frak do I do now?
