I was unemployed 7 times. Happy now. I went with 6 startups. So I got to

of a time to collect unemployment insurance. And Cobra can only cost 10%
more than the company pays the insurance company.

and how much of COBRA does the company pay after you get laid off?

oh. none.

Frigging idiot. I also
banked a bunch of my income for the lean times. Sure, I got paid very well
for a middle class worker, but having an engineering degree and lots of
talent helps. What kind of a cars does you and the wife drive?

i drive a 2000 honda crv with 200,000 miles and the wife drives a 2001
focus with 120,000 miles.

How big a
boat and how much for the slip? Maybe you should consider learning
economics.

i have a 1977 tollycraft that cost $3500. slip is $3000 a year.

no, we dont vacation in gstaad every year.

Cobra is paid all by you. The company can, but is not required to, charge
up to 10% for administration costs.

It depends on the company. Centex paid my wife's COBRA until she got
another job. It only took a week but the deal was good for 6 months.
IBM kept people on the IBM insurance plan for up to 5 years in some of
the separation packages that were offered but one year was the norm.

there are very few IBM's in the world. IBM had a no layoff policy
until the mid 80's.

most companies don't pay COBRA. again you're putting faith in the rich
above common sense

funny how the right wing looks at middle class wager earners....then
at an 18 billion dollar company

and says the middle class is to blame for choosing the wrong company.

had nothing to do with ATT management, you see. they were rich. they
had wall street buddies. it COULDNT have been THEIR fault.

My brother in law just retired from Verizon and he has no complaints
about how former AT&T employees were treated.

I worked for NCR. ATT bought them. After I left. One of the two small
pensions I get. I still have breakfast once a month with a group of NCR
coworkers. They were there through the ATT years. Said ATT was a crap
manager, but they were treated well in the layoffs and retirements. And you
could have bought a lot of ATT stock at a discount and made a handsome
profit on it as an employee.

Actually it is worth a lot more than that. You will have some NCR, Comcast,
a semiconductor company (name escapes me at the moment) and a bunch of
others that may not amount to much.
