My life is private. And I had worked on FOX during my life. So to me it is not 
OffTopic.

Because I have worked for them, rather than for myself.
Without any payment.
They have laid-off 70% of the former X11-Group (over the last three years). It 
is just what I have said: Outsourcing, tricking dumb persons like myself into 
free labor. Things like that.
If I cannot even come up with details of how this policy has affected me, then 
what am I allowed to do at all? To work for nothing and then keep my mouth shut?

It's over.
Because this way or that way, continuing my work will be *impossible*. In 14 
days the spiral might come into full action. At the end I will lose my white 
banking credit-records (at German "SCHUFA") and then I may even have to go into 
jail if I cannot pay back the owed amount. It is as simple as that.

I'm not "stressed".
I'm ruined.

These "traumas" (rather my economic reality) are a direct consequence of how I 
had done my stuff here: With full dedication and good will.
Responsible Sun management should take into account, that I depend on their 
immediate help. And if they see themselves being unable to even respond, they 
should at a minimum know, what I will have perished from.

Man, hey, mars to earth: It is a financial DESASTER. Rather than a luxerious 
neurosis.
Hearing such a comment from *you* disappoints me most.

Oh yeah, let me have some fun, hear some beautiful relaxing music, go to the 
doc.
Then I will awake in a paradise and will have some black numbers on my banking 
accounts, even if it was only a '0'.

You disappoint me.

I will forward that message to OGB-discuss (with your name and msg. src 
removed) . It really looks like nobody has the lightest clue.
If I tell you I urgently need money for paying overdue-bills, then even an 
all-at-once schock-bill, how can your response be, "Oh well, dear Martin, you 
must be stressed recently" (psychically) ??? Could you explain?
