This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

No, why you got fired does not in fact affect your need to eat food and house your family, so it's not a factor.
And if you are "laid off", ie the company says they don't need your job anymore, you are usually entitled to a pretty nice redundancy payment too - plus the usual.
Really depends on the employer. One gave me a nice 3 months severance for being laid off. Another only gave me a weeks notice and only two weeks of severance. That sucked since bills continue to come in but now you gotta take a savings hit unless you can find a job in 2 weeks.
I ended up finding another job, but it took a few months and now I'm trying to crawl out of that debt hole.
