Pretty surreal feeling, first time in 9 plus years I don't have a job to prepare for Monday. The position created that I had was eliminated today.

That sucks. At least your back in WI.

Been there, it is a weird feeling, but you will rebound. Maybe time to venture on your own.

I got 8 weeks severance, plus they are paying out my vacation not used. I'm not bitter or anything, they gave me a lot of opportunities. I mean I got see a good portion of the country because of that job.

I'm excited to see what jobs are out there for me and excited to be able to program again.

Good luck, amigo.

I got laid off back in July. Let me just tell you that that was one of the highlights of the year, looking back. Hope it works out for you.

Maybe you should email Obama and asked him what the heck is going on.
(I'm just kidding!)
Kevin......i don't know if i could have such a good attitude if that happened to me like it did to you. My hat goes off to you.

Unfortunately, that's the way companies are today. They are soulless ghouls who don't care about the workers, which are the ones that make all the money for the company.
And they wonder why people don't want to give their all to a job.

It's because of just this treatment.
I feel i know you, and you are the kind of conscientious (sp) worker i'd want to have work for me. You deserved better treatment then that.
As you know, my wife gave 17 years and was notified by FEDEX that they were closing her plant. Not even a personal word.

You will bounce back. You have a "never give up" spirit.

US offices: They fire you, you leave your office within one day and get nothing.
Munich office: They cannot fire you just to fire you, the workers' council would vote against that. They can offer you a cancellation agreement which gives you at least 3 months salaries without work and additionally at least 1 month salary per year you worked for the company as compensation.

US offices: 15 days of vacation in the 1st year, escalating to maybe 25 if you're with a company more than 10 years.
Munich office: 30 days of vacation right from the beginning, special days of vacation for movement, marriage, funerals.

US offices: When someone is sick, he has to spend a day of vacation for every day he's sick. If you're out of vacation days, it's unpaid leave.
Munich office: When you'sick, you're sick. Period. Even if you're sick for 3 months, you'll get paid for every single day. Hell, they even give you 15 paid days a year when your kid is sick and you stay at home because of that.

Additionally, but more of a governmental thing, maternity leave:
US offices: You'll kind of directly go from the office to the delivery room and be back full time after 3 months.
Munich office: 6 weeks before the planned birth date you're not allowed to work anymore. You get the full salary this 6 weeks and 8 weeks after birth. After that you can stay at home for an additional 12 months and get somewhat like 70% of your salary. I'm not sure about the exact % as I don't have kids ;)


I don't wanna praise my country or hijack Z2C's thread, not at all, I just want to make you aware of the shit that's going on over there. Just look:

I work for the EXACT SAME company that my colleagues work, I do the SAME FUCKING job that my colleagues do and I'm treated like a normal person and they're treated like shit just because we're sitting in different offices. Maybe you feel like my US colleagues are treated like normal persons and the german guys are treated like the kings on earth, but I feel like it's more of my first impression. That's just insane for me!
