Hey all, just found out my position is being eliminated at work - on my birthday of all days.
WOO FUCKING HOO!!!
What a wonderful day. 30 more days, and if i "voluntraily resign" I get 30 days severance. Which also means NO UNEMPLOYMENT. If I don't resign, no severance. That's BULLSHIT. I need to talk to a lawyer...
Anyhow, that's my great fucking day... sorry, had to vent...
that blows.
sorry to hear it.
Well happy birthday anyways, dude! [img]frown.gif[/img]
That's harsh!
To make the best of it....
... work the 30 days (while looking for another job), and take the severance (which is probably more than what Unemployment would pay.)
Just tell the new place that you can start work on April 19th or such... and you'll get a full month of bonus pay!
When my office was eliminated at one job, I took the severance option, worked until they were done with the shut down, started my new job the following week, and took my severance and took my wife and kids to disney. [img]smile.gif[/img]
pariadocs -
Is that if you volumtarily resign now, you get 30days pay, or if you work 30 days and then resign, you get 30days pay?
just curious. If your job is being elilminated, they can't deny you the form that says you were let go for lack of work.
It is something that you should have looked into.
That's a nice birthday present. [img]frown.gif[/img]
Happy birthday and best of luck to you! [img]graemlins/party.gif[/img]
damn..that's harsh, docs. I hope you can find something new soon.
and happy birthday..hope you have a good one, even though this happened.
Really sorry to hear that, pairadocs. Don't let the bastards screw you over.
sorry to hear that dude. same thing happened to me a little over a year ago. cruising along, managing kb toys, then bam! they close my store and lay me off. best thing that could have happened to me though.
Happy b day anyway man.
