Well 2 of these people were consultants, so they had 2 weeks warning actually, it's just all the office supplies and ketchup packets and assorted crud they left.
I am stopping with what I have already done though, at least for today. There is another person who has been laid off and their last day is today - the 2 desk I need to clear out are right beside her and that just feels a wee insensitive.
As per usual, I have a question for the hivemind
Does anyone know anything about getting insurance if it isn't offered by your job? My boss's daughter is uninsured and is peeing blood. They have gone to the emergancy room, but they are not finding an underlying cause, so she needs to see a PCP. They are hung up on getting her insurance before she has a condition diagnosed. She passed on COBRA. Any thoughts? She is in NY State, and not employed in the arts(because I know you can get insurance through arts councils).

I think if she can show that she has done freelance work in the last 12 months, she might qualify for the freelancer's union.
If there are any professional organizations she can join, she might qualify through them. I once had insurance through a home builder's association when my homebuilding employer did not offer it.

Thank you! I am forwarding these on to who mom (who is beside herself!)
