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.

Clodfobble · 08-24-2010, 11:52 PM

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.

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.

Anyways, glad you finally get your money, Clod!

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

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, 10:24 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.
