Thanks all,
They were not being nice giving me a heads up, they were covering there asses so they can say they told me about concerns they had, documented them and in 3 months (when there is no improvement - they have already told me they do not care what I do btw now and then, they have decided how I will perform already ) they will fire me.
Evidently, they do things this way in the hope I may resign due to the intolerable pressure I am under and save them the trouble...I have two ex employees I am in touch with who this happened to.
VA is an 'at will' state for employment laws so within reason, unless I am a minority, they can fire me 'at will'.
However, there is some life in the old dog yet...I am close to pulling off a little master stroke that may force them to give me at least 6 months or cut me a decent severance.
Thanks for all the tips...
Monster is da bomb...
Pissy thing is I am a PSIA certified Ski Instructor and have a job offer in hand for the season at Snowshoe, WV but as I am recovering from ACL replacement, teaching skiing is not an option
AS one door closes, another one will open, dangit !

Sucks about the job - I'm unemployed at the moment too. I had no warning though, my supervisor found out 30 minutes before I did. It's been a month and a half, things might be picking up soon........
Good luck!

After 15 years with the company , my boss told me that "I should look for another job !"
I probably have until Feb or March tops.
I just cancelled my ski vacation to Vail, cancelled cable at home and I am selling off anything I can on eBay to get some cash cushion cos out of work is no fun folks...
Sad thing is, the first thing to go if I am out of work is the 4th gen.
Cannot justify that payment when my medical insurance premiums need paying.
Ah well, at least I had it for a while....
