    emm.. we are living in a society that is indeed very scary..... I was never told of this when I was in high school or growing up. What is all this moral bs that they've been feeding students? Wish I had found this forum when I was younger.


    There's really no answer to that which would take less than a few hours and a few hundred years of history.

    You mean you needed someone to tell you that life isn't always fair? Most people learn that while their ages are still in single digits.

    have you read this document?

    http://www.bls.gov/opub/mlr/2001/01/art1full.pdf

    seems to me that at-will-employment is being wittled down.

    Life is not always fair. Especially when it comes to the workplace.

    I always think of that mock-Hallmark card that goes something like this:
    Congratulations on your promotion.
    Here's your knife back
    I assume you'll need it for someone else.

    When faced with your situation, the best bet really - for your happiness and future - is to start to discreetly send out resumes elsewhere.

    "Life is pain, Highness. Anyone who says differently is selling something."

    Please. It was like this when my GRANDFATHER was a kid. Employment has NEVER been "fair".

    "At will" came about as a cure of sorts for indentured servitude.
