[AccessD] Update

 The old timers in the USA, have been down that
 path of disappointment a number of times.

 Best thing is to pick up the pieces and move on.

 Compared to Europe, the USA labor relations has
 gone back to the 19th century.  It is like the USA
 is now in some kind pre-Elizabethan era where
 Ebenezer Scrooge would feel at home.

 In many states in the USA, business has rewritten
 many of the Laws to their benefit.

 How I would play it, would be to keep quiet, 
 take the two weeks severance pay and then get
 on unemployment.

 If unemployment is contested, which is becoming
 to mode practice in the USA, you can say, I got
 severance pay.  Which implies you were laid off,
 not fired.

 Its tough out there. Not much help. Face piles
 of trials with smiles is about all you can do.

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.
