labrujahI got surprise laid-off this morning.
Came in at nine-ish as usual, ready for my first day back after vacation, to hear that they want to hire an office manager instead of an assistant (me), and that I should go pack my stuff, and here's two weeks severance.
No notice, no warning signs, nothing. And one month before I'm eligible for unemployment from them.
I'm angry more than sad. I'm relieved that there will be a change but worried about getting along in the immediate future.
Tomorrow I'm going to try to make a deal, tell them to keep their severance and pay my unemployment instead. It's not a lot of money but it will help.
Does anybody know what employers are required to give you when you're laid off? Or, a lawyer?
