[AccessD] Update

Same laws in Germany. I think that at least 1 month pay for every year of
service is the rule. It is very hard to get rid of somebody over 55 unless
he did some unlawful thing. Needless to say that the industry doesn't like
these laws and are fighting them where they can.

Roz:

To be perfectly frank, in either Britian or Canada, that small of severence
package, after that many years of service, especially given the employees
age, unless there is extenuating circumstances like criminal behaviour, is
totally illegal.

The governments also takes a very dim view of off-loading costs to the
taxpayers which they see as similar to tax fraud.

I do not know what laws the US has on this but I would assume they a similar
to rest of the free world.

Two weeks severance is pretty shocking, even in these hard-pressed
times. It must feel as though you're being pushed off a precipice. But
these guys are right; you'll find something and it could well be better
than what you had. I took the route in-between full time work and
self-employed development, i.e. contracting, and it has been a bit scary
but also immensely freeing. Consider all your options and make the most
of the opportunity to rebalance your life! Good luck!

Best of luck, Charlotte. These things can be a real blow at the time,
but so often they open the door to something so much better and more
interesting.

Henri Strzelecki, founder of Henri-Lloyd, sent me this advice when
things looked their blackest once. Niema zlego ktore by na debre nie
wiszto (There isn't a bad thing that will not turn into good.) I think
it might well be right.


Fingers crossed for you.
