Well,
I was working late at a friday, on a presentation of someone else's
project, I was called down,
got a cheque for three months wage (the minimum here in social heaven
belgium, that is a plus
of the 55% taxes on income...) and was asked if I could yet finish the
presentation, since
they'ld be in trouble on monday otherwise...!?
these managers sure have guts... this behaviour is international.
They planed this well, since after I and one secretery were sacked,
four people (from 20) left in free will, and that
is just what they wanted I believe.
Monday I'll start at my new job, after 6 months, measly wage the first
three months, and just enough after, but
it is a place where I can learn a lot, I hope! (and only one boss,
much better than three!)
Iwert.
