Tom had a dilemma. The company he worked for went under, and at sixty-years-old, how would he find another job opportunity? His wife’s employment wasn’t enough to pay the mortgage, and he couldn’t collect full social security.
After months and months of interviews at brokerage firms, he finally landed a job as a Compliance Officer. It was less pay than his previous employment, but it had full medical benefits.
Driving home from work, he stopped at a red light when a car slammed into his driver’s side.
Unable to move, his ribs broken, he realized he’d be out of work again.
Ha, poor Tom. At least he has those medical benefits. 😉
Nice play on words: Tom now worked for a brokerage firm, but has managed to break, but the firm can pay for his “brokerage.” I’m glad you’re still submitting, Lisa.
