Re: [MBZ] It’s hitting the fan

Our company was bought, and really _was_ a valuable acquisition in that our products, added to their line, were highly successful. Yet, there were multiple layoffs. We were continually told that we were valued by corporate, and not to worry. That is, until they decided to close the office

It's the MBA mindset, "Maximize shareholder profit, get paid yourself, get a golden parachute, repeat." I swear getting an MBA is just repeating "Layoff anybody who makes more than the minimum" over and over. -Curt On Tuesday, July 20, 2021, 9:55:18 AM EDT, Jim Cathey via Mercedes wrote:

I have well over a million Hilton points and tons of American miles so I was planning on booking some tropical vacation for free. With the events yesterday that is on hold. On the other hand, if they get rid of me and don’t pay out PTO, maybe I should use it up. Sent from my iPhone

Yep, it's expensive as you pay the fully loaded cost but better than a gap in coverage in a transition period like that. Also, this would qualify as a life change so I would think they should be able to get onto one of the public options without waiting for annual enrollment. On Tue, Jul 20,
