The word has finally come on the demise of Franklin Capitol. Steven Ross will officially be standing in the unemployment line on October 1st. It's amazing to me that it has lasted this long, they told us it would be 3-6 months back in January and here it is mid August and we still have six weeks to go. It's been nice getting paychecks but I think I am excited to close the Franklin chapter and get into the next one in our life because hopefully it will be a good one.
Santander will assume day to day operations on August 25 and the first round of layoffs will take place on September 4th. We have opted to be part of the crew that hangs around and finishes shutting everything down for an extra 4 weeks.
I'm grateful for Franklin, they are really taking care of us. On top of the two weeks for every year severance, they are cashing our vacation, one sick day for every two, giving us our full year bonus and as an added thanks for sticking around to the end they extended the last day into October to give us another full month of insurance benefits. Franklin has been a really great company to work for and I'm sad to see it go, but like I said before I'm ready to get on with our life.
