I recently switched jobs. Not because I had to but because I was offered an 11% raise over my previous employer. I was driving 52 miles to my previous employer so thought it wouldn't be that much harder to drive 86 miles to my new one. Boy was I wrong. Currently looking for new digs in the Austin area. It is really hard finding something with 10+ acres, a nice house, barn (for the horses) and large work shop. Closest I have found so far is 26 miles and farthest is 45 miles.

Bielefeld Sent: Wednesday, May 31, 2006 11:11 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Slightly off topic 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.
