Then why have unemployment benefits at all? For the same reason we have any insurance - spread the risk. And because we become more socialistic every day. Matt |

NetJets Layoff
wrote in message oups.com... I don't understand the real world? You sound like my teenage daughter. I don't recall saying anywhere that I believe the NetJets layoff was illegal, unlawful, or even wrong. A company that's having financial problems has to make adjustments to survive, and layoffs are a viable means. It cracks me up that a few of you armchair lawyers (who know nothing about what happened beyond what I wrote) jump in with your judgment that NetJets did no wrong... when I can't even tell you one way or another and I've read the documents and spoke with the 'voluntary resignees'. HOW a company choses to terminate employees is also done at their discretion, as long as it is done within the boundaries of the law. I'd be more than happy to give you an 'unbiased' report, but I've yet to hear NetJets' side of the story. Since they must be talking with a few of you in the know, I'm open to hearing what you know. Joe I do believe you were the one that spouted law suit, discrimination and several other legal opinions. Knowing who runs NetJets my money is on the fact they had their ducks well lined up and the input you have provided from sour grapes employees is probably somewhat distant from the truth. Been there, saw what the employees claimed and knew the truth which was not even close to what they were saying. Your lack of understanding of who really pays for unemployment benefits (hint, look at your pay stub) leads one to believe you might not have a good understanding of the employment laws in this country. Having laid off numerous long term employees and fired many for cause over a 25 year period you can bet I know the labor laws involved. OBTW in case you think my views are one sided I have been on the other side of the fence three times. Layoffs suck and those that burn bridges tend to lose in the long run. Those that see it as an opportunity in large percentages end up better than they were. It's a 'get over it and get on with life' situation. In the long run it's not a big deal. |

Having owned a business for only about 1/2 my life, I'll have to defer

How can I argue with someone who believes he knows not only the details
of a 12+ page separation agreement without seeing it, but also my business strengths and weaknesses without even knowing who I am or what I do? ;-) All I can really say is the government or taxpayers have yet to pay any unemployment for my employees. The business pays premiums for unemployment benefits. Like any other form of insurance, if you have claims made against the policy, the premiums go up. You don't need to be an economist to understand this. Matt Whiting wrote: wrote: Having owned a business for only about 1/2 my life, I'll have to defer to the experts on this.
