Absolutely take unemployment; you are not celebrating the closing of the company and it was entirely out of your control.I have worked since I was 15 or 16, with only one brief period of unemployment at 16 years of age (fired, and boy did I deserve it), during which time I did not file for unemployment pay. I'm going to pose a question somewhere in this post, which is not asking for advice, but I am curious to hear opinions. Once RWI is shuttered, I am considering filing.
My FRA for SS is in December at 66yrs 10 mo. Fuck me, I was 16 a couple of years ago, what happened to those 50 years? Are we in a time warp?
I feel that I should feel no guilt if I do collect for a while, but I am wrestling with it. To be clear, I do not need the income, but due to the fact that so many low lifers routinely live off the dole, I think why not? I have not take one cent of California's unemployment money in half a century), and have certainly always paid my taxes. I don't like to be a cynic, but hey, I'm English.....
The floor is open. I have a fire extinguisher ready for youse flamers
Any interest in the catalogs? Free to good homes!!

Dude, You paid into SS all you working life. Enjoy it. It's YOURS. Its far from the dole. I think it will do you good to get out of there for a bit Ken.

Did you/they make JWS mirror mounts with that beryllium expertise?
And you're collecting finder's fees, right?
We had one beryllium job that we did on wire EDMs so there was no concern about dust. We make many products from OFE copper. One requires a wire EDM with a throat (Z axis) of 12".
I cannot recall any mirror mounts. As you probably know, Sometimes parts are remembered by the job number or part number, so the name may have been forgotten. I've been gone for 5 years as well.
I passed your offer over to the bossman Ken! He was grateful but we can’t do ITAR stuff. We already make parts for varian. Opportunity’s seemed limited for us really. Small world though, my Boss Dan took a class from Ron. He speaks really highly of him. Im definitely bummed I didn’t get to know him.
Good Morning Mike: You may remember we make a bunch of drop-dead easy parts for Varian. What's the name of your shop? I am starting weekly Teams calls with Varian to assure them we are staying on track delivering parts. If you have capacity, let me know if it is turning or milling.
I see diamonds in my sleep Ken.
Mike, I will pop in once I'm retired. I do recall you were doing plastic moulds, but because of your comment re: Varian work, thought perhaps there were some machined parts as well.I see diamonds in my sleep Ken.
You really should drop by Design Octaves sometime when your over here. We don't really do any job shop type of parts. All the CNC work is in service of mold making. My "customer" is really my co-worker in the next department over. It's different.
