    Was this really necessary? :facepalm:
    Thank you.  Even when I try to stick to less controversial topics and try to be helpful, I can't seem to win.

    If you give people advice in areas beyond your experience, then you aren't being helpful.  Bad advice, even if given in charity, is still bad advice.

    Well then, I guess most of us shouldn't even bother trying to help since most of us are probably not experienced in most of the anonymous threads posted here.  The OP was obnoxious in his last post.  Where was the charity there?

    Absolutely.  When I was slanderously accused of encouraging someone to defraud an employer, it became necessary.  I had to explain how these 60-day notice periods work, how exempt employment works, and how corporations work in general ... and you still had people who are completely ignorant of the matter doubling down.  This thread was derailed by the initial slanderous accusation made by someone without any knowledge of the situation, thus turning the thread into a "controversial" one.

    That's why I mostly stopped bothering to comment on most topics.  It seems to me that most posters merely want affirmation of their own opinions and can't stand any criticisms or comments that aren't 100% in line with their own.

    Well Lad, here is what you wrote: “Usually in that 60-day "lame duck" period, they're not expecting a lot of productivity out of you and so you can probably show up late, leave early, work from home more, etc.”

    If you were a bit more descriptive, explaining how the system worked initially, I don’t think any of us would have taken your post in a bad light. You must admit that without your follow up posts and confirmation from the OP, it does look bit scandalous.

    No, this thread was never "controversial"...only to you.

    You're the one who used the term.  See your own post above.

    Not in reference to this thread. My point was I have been trying to take part in the less controversial threads on this forum.  In other words, one like this one that isn't controversial.  It was simply an anonymous thread where the OP was asking for support/advice, etc. about losing his job ....NOT controversial.  Of course, later on the OP came across as an arrogant, anonymous jerk.  Maybe there's more to his story.

    You're right. You never asked explicitly.  You only wrote this in the OP:

    I'm feeling nervous because I'm over 50 and I've heard it's very difficult for older workers to get jobs.

    And the rest of us idiots who felt badly for you chimed in, gave some ideas, said we'd pray for you, etc ,etc but then you showed us!:

    Do you people understand in corporate tech you don't even use references?  The name recognition alone is your reference.  My resume is stacked with Fortune 100 companies and certifications.  I don't use references.  Please get into the 20th century.  One does not simply go become a mortician after investing 30 years in a career that pays $145K a year.  I will get another job because my certifications are highly sought after. Now that tech is having layoffs, contract work will be more available and I will possibly make a third more in my hourly rate anyway.

    So, now you're showing that you're NOT nervous about getting another job.  MMMkay.  Good luck and good riddance.

    Heck, the OP is filthy rich to boot having made $4.35 million in her career, she really doesn't even need another job.:fryingpan:

    It was, but the other reply was to Lad. The whole thing is being blown way out of proportion. The OP was being rude to Vermont for no reason.
