recently heard that my father was laid off from his job . he 's retirement age anyway , but i felt bad for him , as that must have been , at the very least , slightly humiliating . he 's been a hard worker for 40 years , and has done well to support the family . but i do worry for him in the short-term . oh that 's awful ! i hope he is going to be okay . did they lay him off with severence or anything ? yeah , he gets severance . he was a hotel manager , and i do n't think the hotel was doing well , but i 'm not sure that could or would be entirely attributed to his performance . think they just wanted a change of scenery . i 'm partially glad , since he needs to relax anyway . it will be good for his health yeah . he will get to spend more time with you all now ! take the father on a vacation !
The father's unexpected job loss at retirement age caused the feeling of devastation.
