Sad to say that after 14+ years with GF, I was asked to leave. No place for expats anymore in my department. It is sad to see the company I have worked so hard for over the past few years lose it's direction in such a way. What hurts even more are some of the upper management I have worked for become so arrogant and insensitive that they would not even look or talk to me in the days before my departure (not even a 'good luck' or 'sad to see you go', etc...).
