So my Acura TLX was stolen. It was locked and no keys and some thieves managed to get into the car and start the engine somehow and drove off. I had insurance so I was covered and am receiving a payout. But now I need a new vehicle. I have been looking at the Mazda3 due to wanting something similar but isn’t going to get stolen as easily.
I realize this sub may have some bias but would this be a good switch? Thinking a 2022-2023 Mazda 3 under 30,000 miles. Would probably install some security like a kill switch or ILBM given what I dealt with.
Will this feel on par with the Acura? I’ve looked at the turbo option to try and match it. Looks like Mazda is better in other aspects like Torque, etc.
I also take it this vehicle if bought around 10-20k miles could last me 8-10 years?

At 4am. My neighbor heard my car alarm start on my 2020 Acura TLX and it stopped and watched it speed off. 4am it happened, by 4:30 i had a police report. My car was completely locked and my key was still in my house. How easy is it to hot-wire these vehicles apparently? What do people do to stop this in future vehicles?

I have been in the construction management field for 5 years now. 2 years at my last job. I am 31 and yesterday I just received terrible news my company was letting me go. Sounds like another employee was let go as well.

The beginning of my time at this companu, my company threw me into a jobsite of a project worth 300 million with no trailer and no other PM. Just me and the foreman, the PM worked remotely navigating multiple projects including this one. I showed up to work and continued to perform my duties for an entire year, and extinguished any fires/scope gaps as they came up. During a weekly meeting with my manager I was notified that someone had said something to upper management that I was lacking an understanding in a specific scope related to this company (a subcontractor) as a result, I was moved into estimating for a planned 6-8 month rotation to develop this skill gap. I was concerned upon hearing this yet excited. So i moved into estimation.

In the last 2 months in this rotation I received positive feedback from the estimators and plans to develop my skills further on takeoffs. My manager here said nothing bad and indicated I was to be doing this for a total of 6-8 months. My last manager as an APM simply told me to try learning and work hard, that way I could decide if I wanted to stay there or come back to project management. I was actually beginning to really like estimating.

Then just yesterday a company executive walked to my desk and pulled me aside. I was terminated. They reviewed me as an APM and said they didn't see me as a PM down the road and said it was my last day. My benefits end in a week and I got no severance package.

I have already updated my resume and am already responding to recruiters and getting interviews set up but this harsh exit has me concerned. What should I do at this point?
