    Dang. After my 16 years in a similar position, my company was sold (for the book of business ((acounts)) ) and the CEO told me face to face "you're not wanted" the day before Thanksgiving 2020. Since lost absolutely everything I worked for all my life, even my clothes, and am now homeless at 55. The farm would have had the 30yr mortgage paid off in April after only 8 years. Not sure if the worst was the Kubota repo or the house repo including contents. Was going to bank as much as possible then work at Lowes and draw SSI. And NO we weren't a family as they brainwashed us. Not one person reached out to me including blood. My *real* family helps each other when we can. Glad things are ok with you Ed & Ayn, wish you the best. My doggy sends paw waves to Hachi.

    Life sucks and as you discovered, there is no dedication to a valuable employee any more. As a police officer I escaped the dreaded termination as I was protected by state law but having no idea what you did, you had none of that protection. I love your videos as I have the same tractor you do and you have great ideas and plans. You seem to be a very nice man and all you have to do is downsize a bit and you will be fine. Keep kicking ass with your videos and do more of what you enjoy doing and do NOT worry about the upper chair suits care. Take care of yourself, because they sure as hell will not take care of you!

    I retired early, not by choice but by necessity. We weren't prepared for it, but it didn't crush us, either. It went like this: retired 12-1-23. We have a small horse farm in the Pacific Northwest. In January, we decide life would be better and easier with a tractor. I spend almost all of January researching tractors, financing, etc. On February 1, we drive down to Olympia and buy our first tractor. I spend the next week watching every Kubota video I can, and I stumble upon your channel and subscribe. I watch at least one of your videos every day. Absolutely love the channel. Oh, and today, February 21, our Kubota is being delivered. Thanks for all you've done to help everybody. We find your work to be invaluable. Good luck with the new gig! We'll be watching.

It is sad that good employees are let go for people who don't want to work because they are friends with upper management. I like your channel and I gave commented before with you. I just never get to see your live posts. We will get by. One good thing is that when you can afford it you can do anything or go anywhere at anytime. You can start a project and not have plan it for just certain days or leave it for a few days because you would be at work. I am going to be waiting for your next video.

    My wife had the same thing happen to her that has happened to you.
    She helped start up a home health care agency, and spent TWENTY SEVEN YEARS of her life making this one of the top companies in the state!
    She was the Director of Human Resources, and basically ran the office and clerical departments.
    As with you, the company took on another investor that decided to RESTRUCTURE the company, and they no longer required her services. AND, they let the Director of the nursing department go too! These two women RAN THE COMPANY, while the owner of the company RAN IT INTO THE DIRT.
    They did her a favor in the long run as she is no longer working 24/7, and has found a part time job that makes her very happy. She is at retirement age, but works because she wants too.
    I am sure you will come out of this OK, and I will surely continue to support your channel.

    Ed you are handling this pretty good . Good on you. I went through the same thing years ago. I found like you once you move up your head comes above the firing line. In my case it was a very large world company. I was called in to the head office and was told I was caught between a sandwich and my job had been eliminated. I did not take it was well as you did . I was younger than you at that time and worked pay to pay. It did make me stronger and I survived. I gave that company 150% . I learned from that and never gave more than 120% after that. I thought they would never fire me. It shows you can be replaced. I am sure you will work it out and you have my support on the u tube. We will see your progress.

    Exactly why I've spent 30yrs with a family owned company. About 350,000 subscribers is what you need for a decent income. My buddy has 300,000 subscribers and makes about $30k/yr.

    Congrats on your retirement, Ed. I can appreciate your unexpected experience feels a little strange at this point. In 2015, I retired a couple of yrs earlier than expected from 40 yrs of running a practice after my junior associate was ready to take over. It took several months to get accustomed to it. But like you, I have some property (less acreage than you, but similar tasks to keep it maintained), and I found your channel, as well as others, to do more of these projects myself that I enjoy doing outdoors in a timeframe not limited to weekends. As well as spending more time with the grandkids, and family. It's hard to believe it's now 8 yrs; You'll find your days will fill up with activities you enjoy. I look forward to your content. You have a great start to this new chapter- Anne, your family, and good health. All the best.

    You are wise to wait to collect your thoughts and take time to consider your options. I’m sorry this has happened but it may be just the beginning of something amazing. I have had three different career changes in 50 years and each taught me so much about myself and the people I love.

    It is very sad to hear that you have lost your job, it must have been a huge shock but it is a story that is familiar over here too. Good people always rise to the top and I am sure you will succeed in making a living from social media and be happy in all that you do. I think making a living from UA-cam is something all us creators dream of but I think we are a few decades away from doing that 🙂We are here to support you in any way we can.
