My employers tried to be the nicest people they could when I got laid off. Included in the deal was a continuation of my saslary for a little while.Severance, is the name for it.

Need I tell you that time is over? I still have enough money in the bank to buy a decent bottle of red. And there is unemployment, which will help immensely. Though I can see already that they set up the UC system to be a pain in the ass. But I am about to adapt to having a lot less money available.

I might even have to look for a job.
