I worked for HP under Hurd.. I was layed off after 29 years 9 months - 87 days away from full retirement.. Didn’t get so much as a thank you..
Mark can kiss my a$$.. and, no, I will not hire him in the business I started..
What was HP’s primary market when you started?
Weren’t you vested?

You must be a male! If you were an aging female you would have been bridged to full retirement, or you could have sued!
In fact, even an aging male has a small chance of restitution, if you can pay for a sleazy lawyer for age discrimination. Most lawyers aren’t interested in spending time on you, because you are not a woman or black.
I hope the offending parties have become aware that you know where they live.
Been there and done that. After 29 and a half years at a company that HP purchased, I was deemed to be “redundant” (As my friends in Australia call it.) With a new company taking over, the handwriting was on the wall, but it still came as an unpleasant surprise.
What kind of retirement program were you in? The time frame begs for more detail.
Best wishes.
There’s an old Chinese expression that says if you sit by the river long enough the bodies of your enemies will come floating by. Well there are tens of thousands of EDS/HP former employees sitting on the bank and waving at Hurd as he heads downstream.
