Is there anything you miss?

December layoff
If my last day is in December, that means I probably won’t collect severance until 2021 based on what I’m reading on these posts of how long it’s taking the company to pay it all out. That’s good for taxes purposes? Or will they speed it up before... — read more

Reasons for getting fired getting dumber and dumber?
