wendyzskiI've been laid off!
Thinking back, I can see why they need to - the company is down to 3 properties and probably one more will be in receivership within 3 months. They can't afford me.
Sucks to be me though - I have 3 weeks severance and 2 weeks vacation (provided that I sign the release which on the first glance looks reasonable). I'll be eligible for the COBRA subsidy, and I have recent refills on all my meds. My transit pass is paid up for the end of the month.
COMB is going to flip his shit, though - he's out of town till tomorrow. I told HR that I'd be willing to do some personal-assistant stuff at a "mutually agreeable" rate p/t. I'm thinking 25% over my old hourly rate woudl be appropriate, if I get paid by personal check and not reportable income.
So tonight I whine, and then tomorrow I start crunching numbers.
I wonder if it's too late to get added to the Windycon Thursday banquet?

Date: 2009-11-03 11:51 pm (UTC)Plato Foufas and Company is an associated company, and COMB is the president of that company. It deals with the ownership of the properties. COMB also owns 2 homes, rents a luxury condo and is scheduled to leave for a 3 week European vacation on the 11th. He can afford the odd hundred for someone to make his phones work.
