What Declan says is absolutely correct, Bob, why would you waste your time with
people who think, that you after 20 years working for them, aren`t worth a better
treatment like this.
Doing it yourself you should get a better deal than this, stop looking for people to tell
you what to do, who only have been told what to do.
Just go for the ones who have told your boss, what to tell you in order to get them
what they want. Your expertise will be appreciated anyway. To be an other employee
once more won�t make you happy at all.

Sorry to hear it. It's cruel.
Bob, use your contacts. If you've been 20 years anywhere, youy're on the
scrapheap as an employee, but very viable as a self employed hacker like some
of us. I started out on a bicycle, with a meter that wasn't particularly
accurate (In fact was particularly innaccurate) and now I'm still doing OK
after 1.5 years off the road due to Epilepsy.

Don't tell people whet you can do.  Ask them what they want done, and do that
for them. Much more fun! And you'll never be bored again. The icing on the
cake would be to make those so-and-so's suffer
