Rumor mill at work
 

Hey, great news everyone! I just heard a rumor that the company i work for is closing up their nh office (aka, tax free and 10 minutes from home) sept 1rst and moving all operations to our Massachusetts office, AKA, an hour and a half away and horrible taxes. Anyone have a recommendations for how to make a nice cover letter? :D

i thought you hated them and were looking anyway ?

I am. just more fuel to the fire.

Apparently we are in the midst of a layoff in my department, so i wont be doing anythinguseful at work today.

Everyone keep your fingers crossed. Maybe i am on the chopping block :D

pray for a good severance ...
if you're lucky you'll get the deal i got..

my last job - we were taken over by another company .. i got my package the day after my son was born (i was supposed to wrrk the next 3 days but i told them to go fuck themselves.

i had 4 weeks holiday pay coming, 4 weeks time in lieu pay, and a severance package of 13 months pay.

I put the entire severance into RRSPS (registered retirement savings plan) and lived off of the 8 weeks severance allowing me to stay home with my new family for 2 months.

I ended up getting my nexy job before i really wanted one (2 interviews - 2 offers .. i turned the 1st one down)

it was perfect - i hope you can get this kind of timing..

just pray that no one sees your posts about work here - from your work ..

Meh... I am very vocal about my views at work, so they no doubt are aware anyway.

Plus, this company usually tracks the yahoo boards.

whats this tax and tax free business about :confused: enlighten me... since in the Uk business taxation levels are the same throughout companies across the country.

btw hope you get a good payout

New Hampshire, the state i live in, has no sales or state income tax, so i get to keeop a great deal of what i make (although between benefits, social security and federal income tax, i lose over 20% of each paycheck...), whereas Massachusets has someof the worst state income and sales tax in the country.

One of the guys here taolked to someone, and they figured it out,, in order to make the same amount of money in Mass as we do here, they would have to give us a $3 an hour raise, which most definately is not going to happen.

so whats the difference between the state and federal taxation?

Federal taxation is from the country as a whole and goes to things like the military, the president, area 51, etc.

State tax stays within the state and gets used for things like roads, state parks, things like

Area 51 hahahahahahahahahaha
