Alia,  early 40s actually isnt that old in the workforce.    Its harder to get jobs late 50s, but it also depends on the type of work you do,  and whether you can settle and manage with part-time/ casual as in most regions,  there is more of that type of work.  Im wishing good things for you.

• Hello,  this is my first post hete.  I just want to say that I truly understand because I am currently going through a very similar situation.  I am 58 years old.

I did actually make an error.  I know this sounds like Im making an excuse,  perhaps I am,  but I was wworking under extreme duress in that I was being rostered to travel 992kms each way to work a one hour shift with no financial rrimbursement because of how my sshifts were structured that day.  I klive in rural Australia where petrol costs are high (Im a community carer in aged care).  I wotk for a Christian-based organusation.

From what my manager had said to me,  the organisatiin has not gotten the contracts they expected to, and it couldcbe that the jibs in this region will fold up.

I know for a fact that until very recent times,  they got a lot of good feedback from clients on me.  Since this hapoened,  I feel Im being demonised. Now there are other accusations made against me.

I thI think its possible that they are looking for a reason to either sack me or be so unpleasant that I will leave of my own accord.

AAlia,

It doesnt make sense to me that a person with a good work record is in ssuch a short time then regarfrd in such a different light.

I pray the universe will taje goid care if both of us.
