Unless you are a CFO, CEO, or other executive. I'm just a senior grunt.

I'm sorry to hear about your day and your situation. No sarcasm, no wise guy comments... just truly sorry. That was a sad post to read. If it makes you feel better (and it won't), you're not alone. A lot of the gigs in the area that have been mine for almost two decades are now being played by younger less experienced players for reasons I don't understand (it's certainly not an improvement in the quality of services provided), other than that perhaps newer younger directors seem to enjoy having younger people around them rather than seasoned pros who may be a bit more aware of... well.... doesn't matter. Who knows. I've been fortunate to work with a lot of great people over the years, and I'm grateful for the opportunities. Hopefully, you can look back on your career, see the good you've done, the people you've helped and encouraged, and look forward to whatever the future holds knowing that you've been there for other people throughout your life.
All my best.
