Spike's Bitches 35: We Got a History  

Closed Threads

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

California is an "at will employment" state. They can fire you just because they no longer see the need to pay you, if they want.

Correct. However, if it's indeed a "re-org", the laws are different. VERY different.

Anyway, you and Aimee both know I've got your back. I'm sorry about this mess.

It's my understanding that California has pretty strict laws about firing people--especially when they're on leave for a Family Reason.

It's an at-will State so there's a lot of discretion given to the company in firing. You can't fire somebody who's out on FMLA, but a bereavement leave wouldn't qualify.

Right, David. Again, the circumstances and laws for small private company vary hugely from large, public companies.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

You know what sucks most about all of this? The thing that enrages me beyond reason the most?

Because of the circumstances...because she has to be in Michigan for this while I have to stay in California and then go to Arizona tomorrow...because of all this I can't hold my wife!!

When she most needs me to be there, when she most needs something to support her, WHEN SHE NEEDS ME THE MOST...I CANNOT be there!

GODS DAMN THIS WORLD AND ALL THE EVIL IN IT! GODS DAMN IT TO THE WORST HELL THAT HUMANS CAN IMAGINE!

I just want to hold my wife and daughter and make it all better.

They can just say they're eliminating the position - which sounds like what they're doing. They're probably outsourcing her responsibilities.

She'll definitely be eligible for unemployment.

Yeah.

But then we get to hug her, right? We can send her on Aimee's love tour.

The sheer kerfuckityness of this situation is boggling.

What is even happening?

Aimee, you've got all my ~ma, prayers, thoughts, and love. I'm so so sorry.

Miracleman, you're good stuff.
