I would let them lay you off, you'll then qualify for 26 weeks of un-employment pay.If you are financially able, I would start searching but plan to take 30 day's off.
When i was in my 30s i worked at a factory for a couple years till it closed i meet my ex there. When it closed i thought i can draw unemployment have fun with my soon to be wife but write at that time my dad sold his farm and need me to help finish his new house . I worked out was a busy good year even if it did lead up to bad stuff happening.I would let them lay you off, you'll then qualify for 26 weeks of un-employment pay.

How is it different? They called us all into a meeting telling us they were closing that factory but they had to work or pay us for so many days after that date. They worked every one till we ran out of supplys then the workers went home and got payed till those days were over. Me and some other guy stayed and took every thing apart to be moved or scraped . They would have let you move and work in another plant but it wasnt that good of a job i think one guy moved and went to work but the company closed up every thing a short time later.The OP and myself are both in Pennsylvania, where the unemployment laws
are different from your location.

How is it going ?Got word that we're closing shop.
I've cleaned, maintained, and repaired the same fleet since october '96. I'm spoiled as I've always had long leash and no micromanagement above me. Road mechanic, shop mechanic, chief truck washer, etc.... and I'm unsure where to go now.
I have a high school diploma and zero formal mechanical education, but, I think dealer work may not be a great fit for me.
I simply don't know where to start, here in western Pennsylvania.
Thanks for listening, as I just had to get that off my chest.
I know that I'll land on me feet somewhere, but the worry is just starting to set in.
And that is a problem.Most outfits here of any size, are getting bought out by even bigger fish.

I'm not sure you are really in any position to nitpick about someone's service schedule. I service all engines at 250, everything else is by the manual, don't give a single phuc what others say. I don't have 100 pieces of iron, so there is that.Owner has agreed to keep me on until auction (end of March), at same pay.
Looked at two shops in so far as interviewing.
1st one was a no go, as they do every service at 250 hour, which I think is kind of a waste, but, the machines in the shop, and trucks, were caked full, greasy, and, clearly, poorly looked after. And, they even have their own wash bay.
Don't misunderstand, machines get dirty, leak inside, and generally look awful inside, but these were beyond acceptable. And, the shop foreman just really seemed well....I dunno.
The other knows I'm not really available until March, but, they seem organized. Being our closest competitor, I already know some peoples there. But, it's all shop work. I think I'll miss being out of town 5 days a week. 1/2 and half would be a nice balance.
