He asked how my disability claim was going, told me he had hired my replacement and I had to train him, after 3 weeks of training he laid me off, then fought my Unemployment Insurance claim and won, so I get no UI. It is a complicated series of events, luckily I was approved for SSA Disability, but the payments dont start until the end of April.

Automation is a good thing, but the employees being replaced have to be treated with some care. It might have been better for my employer to have said "hey we plan to replace you, your laid off, go get unemployment and talk to SSA to get disability going". Or something better than the way he decided to handle it. I did a good job my entire career, even when I trained my replacement. I think my short term memory problems added to my not seeing it coming when my employer gave me the boot.
Oh and back to HP calculators; I programmed them most of my career so I could just plug in numbers, push buttons, and get answers. I had to write a program to calculate my age because after about 50 I kept forgetting Sad
