not here, you can be laid off during illness if your prognoses is bad or if your position technically ceases to exist. that is the route they chose. the team I was in was made up of three people, one quit, one is ill and one was hired for a different team in the first place and will relocate back to there. so they can let me go for organizational reasons. it is legal. > And although I know it DOES happen anyway, you are still entitled to rehab. > It's paid for through a state insurance pool.

I think my chances are good. last two times it took me about 20 applications and 4-5 interviews each. economy is just picking up now. Who knows, I might even freelance for a while =) Thanks Ecke -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
