After more than 27 years with the company, and after seeing similar stories from thousands of loyal and dedicated Comcasters, I experienced something on Monday, 10/26, that I never thought I would feel during my career: I felt like a number.
After decades of commitment, sacrifice, and dedication, it was difficult not to feel as though everything I had given could be set aside so quickly through what felt like an effortless decision. 27 plus years of service should mean something, and in that moment, it simply didn’t. Good luck to all of us impacted and those who remain.

I’m sorry that you and others were impacted through no fault of your own. I’ve been there before.
If you are not ready to retire, take a brief break to regroup and then hit the job search hard. Spend you normal work week (8-5 or 9-6) looking for a job. Update your resume and LinkedIn profile. Reach out to your network. Use AI.
Prioritize your other hours for things that bring you joy. Continue your hobbies. Spending time with friends and family.
Best of luck. The job marked su-ks but you will find something and chances are you’ll be happier.
He or she never said they worked more hours, just dedicated, committed and made some sacrifices. May not mean they worked long hours you balloon knot.
This is exactly why you should just work your hours and not give your life to a job. I mean, give them good work for your pay and work your fullest during those hours. But after that, forget that place and have a life. They don’t care about you. At your age, late 40s / early 50s you should probably have figured that out by now.
