The pressure has been building up in many areas, many companies, all just interested in the bottom line, profit. Seeing as one person was removed from her position at your job, well the question I would have is, what happened to her position? Did it get filled by someone else? That would have created a spot for someone to move up and move one of you up in seniority. And if she was demoted, then the seniority aspect of it comes to question, how can someone demoted still maintain their seniority?
Have you tried looking for work from home online? Doing reviews or doing small newspaper pieces, blogs, etc.?
Now I can see where you may find a job boring and not be willing to apply for it, but at the same time you don't want your family to suffer from lack of income. Now I will be blunt here... men have always done jobs they may find demeaning, boring, hard, low paying, etc. as long as their family is taken care of. Please take a few moments on that thought.
The era of "I'm accustomed to A or B" is coming to an end, we all see it, it will hit all of us slowly, to some it already did.
Now allow me to relate something to you, a lot of the great writers wrote of the very essence that was making a great impact on them, what made them tick, what made them sad, what made them hate their very existence at that point in time. That power of words on paper moves millions to learn of the struggles, pain, and happiness that can yet still be found even in the bleakest of moments. Don't shun away those experiences, for all you know that one extra boring job you find will be that spark you need to write that new masterpiece.
