BeachBoy AI

Credible reports are pouring in about the disappearance of BeachBoy.  Last seen entering a honky tonk bar with Noodles Malone and Flabby.   In the wee hours.... BeachBoy has vanished.  Noodles and Flabby denied comment and remain, tight lipped.  Concerned fans around the world  held protests demanding:  FIND HIM.
To maintain social equilibrium, BeachBoy AI has been released.  The autobot app looks, feels, and jabbers exactly like the Boy hisself.  An example below.

BB is a restless soul. His essence is not captured in the BB AI app. Reminds me of a song I used to listen to called "Man on the run" by the "Little River Band".

Well... my soul is soon rested.  After 28 years of putting in long, hard work....I was laid off yesterday, and escorted out in front of coworkers like a mangy dog.  

Only thing that really sucks...losing company provided healthcare.  

 

 

Is that true BB or part of you Fantasy. Have you been laid off??  Regards IGGIE

Sad to read this. Layoffs can be difficult if you let them consume you. View it as an opportunity to acquire a more fulfilling job. The more positive your projections the easier it becomes to land a job. Also don't disregard the possibility of changing professions. Beginning to pray for you BB. 

oh man.. sorry to hear that. their loss.. u did yur time tho.  perhaps it is time to relax...and enjoy the golden years..just another chapter...another adjustment. ..

you can collect ...but private ins. will suck the life outta ya.. 

you are still young.. a simple close by job location would do you good.... 

get out of house..go hang ten more often.🏄🏄‍♂️

i find resorting to such  a useless  character from 80's..beyond contempt.  if memory serves me right, he was terminated by a crushing device.  perhaps a trash compactor? 

silly beachboy,.. .trix are for kids. 

kindly remember, yur twin will suffer a fate  beyond human and mechanical  means...should i become....terminated..

your move...decide wisely...🤔

bah hah ha hah! 🤨

 

Oh man, I  am so sorry that you got laid off after putting in all the years. This seems to happen to many people because the companies  do not to pay the benefits out. This happened  to my brother, and a couple of friends. Prayers  that you find something  better.

Millions of jobs out there to be had. For any of us with health issues, the health insurance benefit is huge. 

Seriously? O_O

Oh no, I am very sorry to hear this BB.  Same happened to me with a job I was at for 21 years, they got rid of all of us that had been with this family-run company since it started….and ended up in bankruptcy anyway.  That’s another story, but I learned that everything happens for a reason - even if you don’t know it at the time.  Grieved for months, then landed a wonderful job that was better in every single way than the one I lost.  Looking back, I am so grateful they let us go ….only wish it had happened 10 years sooner than it did, lol.  Take some time for yourself, and know that things will work out.  Everything will be OK! 

Hi IGGIE,

Yes, I've been unceremoniously give the boot. 

I still have to go to work for 60 days.  But not to my work area.  I go to a "redeployment" office where I'm supposed to update my resume, look for other jobs.  

In California, there is a law.  Workers have to be given 60 day paid notice before being laid off.  So I sit around for 60 days, then bid them farewell.

It will be strange for awhile.  I've worked 6 to 7 days a week, 10 to 12 hours a day since 1976. 

First thing my wife said.. "What! You'll be home all day?!"

My cat was happy.

Hello,

I'm not going to work again.  Since I was young, I saved money, invested.  Stayed out of debt.  Only thing I ever bought on credit was my house.  I could have retired at age 50.  But then do what?  I've traveled all over the world, had a great time... in between hospital stays and surgeries.

I never thought I would get old due to having stage 4 thyroid cancer at 25.  But I'm proof.... ya just never know.

 

Da Terminator comes 2 to a package.... yes  he too has a twin!  

Hee, heeeee. Ha, haaaaaa   OUCH- that tickled the old stoma!

Yes.  I now have to go on Medicare.  My wife can remain on company retiree medical until age 65.  But will cost $1,300 a month with a $2,000 deductible.  

If anyone needs to find me... I'll be at Dennys everyday at 5:00.  Lined up for the senior special.

Yeah, I was disappointed.  Especially how I was escorted out in front my coworkers.

Management believes AI and High technology will enable low cost, low skill young technicians to perform complex work.  Skill and experience are not valued anymore.

But I'll be fine.  Biggest decision is whether I remain in California or leave.

When they cut management at my work, they have a company cop there while they pack up their stuff and escort them out.

G-Day BB,  Thats is so sad mate. But your 65 and it could be a good thing. I have been retired since I was 59 so 17 years now and I haven't got enough hours in the day. Have you got a hobby or something you and the wife can do together?  I  lost my Lady 9 years ago and miss her like crazy but life has to go on. I do my photography and I enjoy making things in my garage. You also have flare for writing and you have traveled a lot, I feel a book coming on. Give it a go. By the way get the Cat to have a word with your Wife. Regards IGGIE

We have the same.  Company has 2 different types of security guards and government provided agents.     

It's kinda funny.  Even though we are targeted for layoff, we are still employees for 45 days.   I now report to an engineering building called the redeployment center.  Full of cubicles, each laid off person gets a laptop computer to use.  We are supposed to look for another position in the company.  At the end of 45 days, if we didn't find a another job, we are given an official 2 week layoff notice.  Sign a bunch of paperwork, get debriefed from security clearances.  Remove all my tool boxes.  Then 2 weeks later, given final checks and sent home.  

So, a long process.  Company is fair about it.  Many of my coworkers have stopped by to wish me fairwell.  They are shocked I'm leaving.  One senior engineering lady was crying...I felt kinda sad.  I'm very well known all over the company.  

But, all good things come to an end.  

 

Thanks IGGIE.  

I always have to remind myself that I'm an older person.  Even at 66 years old, I was working 10 hours a day, with a 3 hour commute back and forth from home.

Over the years, I've witnessed some sad events when co-workers retired.  A mechanical engineer retired after 35 years.  Went all over the company saying goodbye.  Stopped by the prototype machine shop I was working in.  We wished him well.  In the parking lot he shot himself in the heart.

Another engineer jumped off a 4 story high bay. 

A machinist drank himself to death.

I saw a really old senior engineer yesterday.  Stooped over, using a walker, shuffling down the hall.  Still hanging in there.

At first, many work to make money.  But as years fly by, work defines them.  And once it's gone, they are like a ship without a rudder in a stormy sea.

...BB..Don't get any ideas thinking that shit, young man. i will fly out there and beat common sense into your sponge bob square head. u see, even smart ppl have no common sense.

no ship gets sunk around here, dude.not on my watch...nope..

I got can of whoop ass with yur name on it.

I will send it federal express...if need be.☺️👍 Will get Flabby involved for that. 

Old railroaders are the same, their work is their life. 

Here ya go BB…..

@BB...

NOT IN MY BACK YARD BUCKO!🪓⚔️🗡️

Noooooo.. not Flabby!!

OMG  that is so funny.... and yet so true.

Yeah... my bosses.  Trying to reinvent the wheel.

🤣!
