It is a shock to suddenly lose a long held job. I got a nice letter from the company pres congratulating me on my 10 years of service. Then 3 months later they got out of the business and I was out of a job! (March 2007). Then I moved to Charlotte NC ! 
You have several good options. Columbia is certainly close enough for you to try the job out for a while without uprooting your wife. That would keep more options open. I don't know about giving up 15 yrs of seniority + a severance package. What would happen if the new job in Columbia SC ended in one year +- ? Would you then be let go like a brand new employee without the considerations given to someone with 15 years seniority? But you have time to think about all the options. Use it!

me too.
I was laid off two weeks ago. Unfortunately it is a sign of the times. We all need to come together and show what the US of A is made of and persevere. We have men and women over seas serving our great country on all of our behalves. Good luck to you.
