February I have been on my job 28 years. The owners up and sold the business without a notice. I am salary and have always received my salary on vacation week plus vacation pay. New owners said that’s the stupidest thing they ever heard and it will no longer be received. I’m exhausted giving a job this many years and feeling I now have to start all over. Does anyone have any advice how should I handle this. At this point I think it’s time to find another job but fear of not making as much money.

You have a lot more experience than me. Nonetheless I had new boss come in, and me and some other co workers couldn’t stand him. He kept trying to change everything and was making our day to day lives terrible. On top of this, he reduced our annual pay bumps. I wanted to jump ship quick and quit. In the end I realized patience is everything. I chose to continue working and collect my paycheck. In the evenings I work on my resume and apply to jobs. The right time will come. Perspective is everything.

Keep your option open. Look for a new and better job while do your best to deal with the situation. Unfortunately, when you work for someone or work at corporate, your direct manager, boss, or owner can change everything. Unless it’s illegal, you will have to put up with it. Always have your resume ready to go, keep connected with your network outside of your company, and be open to talk to a recruiter. You never know when you will need to use your backup option.
