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 don'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!
