I worked 27 years for this company, never been unemployed before

Q) my company just sent out a 90 day notice… I have a very small pension coming to me. As of sept 1 they are moving the pension fund to a less reliable company to manage it, if I want to stay with the old pension fund which is guaranteed (prudential) I have to leave my job right now. I worked 27 years for this company and in 90 days from now 22,000 employees will be heading to the unemployment line. I have never been unemployed before.
