Richard,
I think most states are "at will" employment states. Basically, unless you
have a contract, your employment can be terminated for any reason by the
employer. By the same token, you can quit at any time also. I know
Wisconsin is an "at will" state.
I have thought a lot about where I will be living. As most of you probably
remember, my job ended at the end of April. Right now, I don't know of
anything officially open in the Milwaukee area. I REALLY don't want to
move, but circumstances are such that I may have to. If I find a job in say
Madison, which is only 80 miles away, I would still move. I could spend 90
minutes driving each way, but I'm not going to do that. I would much prefer
moving there, although being that close to Milwaukee would allow me to keep
my home for a longer period of time, as it would be much easier to get back
and forth.
I can understand your wanting to keep your house, as I know I do. I guess a
lot depends on how much you need to be at your job on weekends. I can
understand a company wanting their employees to live fairly closely.

Obviously we have both been down the same path, buyouts, mergers, and
RIF's.
As a side note, I was asked to complete the customary job applications,
one of which stated that employment was covered by the "at will" clause of
employment.
Thanks to all for their opinions and suggestions!
