You're lucky, the Federal WARN Act from the late 80's, doesn't cover companies with less than 100 full time employees.
I'm sure you'll have no trouble finding a place for that money. :thumb:

Might still be the same act--we had more than 100 employees just in the Austin office. Easily another 200 combined in the rest of the studio locations.

Oh, I thought you worked for a small outfit. :smack:
The Feds also say, if the layoff is going to be over 500, they have to give 90 days notice. I got a 90 day notice, every month, for 9 fucking months. In the end I didn't get laid off, missed by 2, but it sure screwed up my life for a year.

I was, "Oh no! Clodfobble's out of a job! :( " I read a few more posts then decided to read the date. :p: Anyways, glad you finally get your money, Clod! :D

No, she doesn't work anymore.
Just bonbons, soap operas, tanning, and Champagne dinners every evening. :lol2: :bolt:

Yep! I'm livin' the high life now, I tell ya. ;) Money's already gone, actually, but it was nice to see it sitting in my bank account for that short period of time...

Trilby 08-25-2010 09:24 AM

that's great news, Clodf!

I'm happy to hear it - esp. after reading Lookouts news and MTP laments about her friend....

cheers!

I hope they added interest on top of what they owed you (as if that would ever happen)

Good for you Clod. At least you got something. . . most don't.

Six years ... I roll my eyes.
Six years, to the day ... now that is funny, somehow.
