hi this is ben from hr, part of your severance agreement included a nondisclosure clause forbidding you from discussing this transition, I'm sorry but we're going to have to cancel the rest of your compensation and you have 30 days to refund money disbursed to date

Two months paid time to look for a job, plus severance, you could be doing a lot worse.

ooc: the max 5 figgie paycheck assuming 1099 so no withholding is 4 grand and if a bank didn't have that in cash that would be a big problem

if you or your parents wrote hot checks in your name you can't get an account ever.

a few of my hs friends had that happen. even now 20 years later they have to use check cashing places because they are in the Chex system and can't use banks at all.

that's ridiculous. i would have thought it would last on your record for like 7 years, in the manner of a bankruptcy or car accident. not your whole life. wtf

apparently in like 09 Obama signed a thing to make it like 10 years but it wasn't retroactive.

I have a lot of friends with dead beat dads who still write hot checks / open lines of credit in their kids names and "well, he means well and he'll pay me back one day!" which I guess is totally fitting thing for the 5 doggies thread
