That's exactly how I'm feeling right now, after working +20 years for a company that's looking for the cheapest way for them to get rid of me.

I don't want to sound like an asshole, but why did you dedicate 20 years to a company? Stuck in a shitty location/education that only gets you employed in a few companies?

I'm nearly at 7 with my employer and I've found the situation to be quite good and I see no sign yet to jump ship. There's still good gigs out there.

I'm sure the person you are responding to had good reason to stick around 20 years. It's possible only recently did the math not work out for them.
