Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / July 2006Purrs for Sabrina
Louie and I are going out on a Sabrina hunt tonight. Sabrina was put out by a jacquesass of my and Louie's acquaintance, simply because he got bored with her and started saying some crazy stuff to justify it, like the cat was all the time trying to beat the hell out of the dog. This is the same cat who shared a dish with the dog, and who slept curled up in the same corner with her! We had a Sabrina sighting in recent days; she appears to be staying at an abandoned home near the guy who put her out. Richard, the culprit, said he's been going to give her food and water and if not I'll have to kick his butt. She's usually of a calm temperament so i hope this'll go without a glitch. Then we'll keep her overnight and run her by our vet for shots and screenings. The objective is to get her into one of our shelters where Louie and I do fundraising, but I hate to burden these good folk with one more. Already none of the no-kill shelters will take a cat off a person's hands unless that person pays for the shots and exams; the shelter will only foot the bill if one of its workers finds an injured or stray cat alone. Can't blame them. They have enough bills as it is, and they want to help people care for the cats themselves and teach how to give good care and attention, not have these yutzes dump a cat out of selfishness. We got a call from Richard saying he simply could not (would not) pay for the shots and stuff. Well, I got me my severance and the bills are for the moment paid. Now I want to do something good with money that seems to me to be tainted. Please spare a few purrs for Sabrina, so we can get her and get her out of the wild life. Louie and I may just end up with another cat because the shelters are in such trouble...if God does provide, I hope He (She) gets it going and quick! Blessed be, Baha Purrs for Sabrina, and for you and Louie. Litter-box leavings for Richard.

But just what sort of yutz is he that makes his problems someone else's problem. The heck with litter box offerings. He deserves the entire contents of a million litterboxes. With really cheap non deodorant litter. You earned every penny of that money. If this is how you choose to spend it, great. It is your choice. But don't think for one second you didn't earn it and deserve it. They paid you because it made economic sense to them to offer severance rather than take a hit on unemployment. (I wonder if there is such a thing as kitty litter quicksand.) Jo >You earned every penny of that money. If this is how you choose to spend >it, great. It is your choice. But don't think for one second you didn't >earn it and deserve it. 2 months+ is standard severance everywhere, and plenty of people get six or even more figure severances due to seniority. Jo is right, and you earned every penny of it. > 2 months+ is standard severance everywhere, and plenty of people get > six or even more figure severances due to seniority. Jo is right, > and you earned every penny of it. Heh, my previous employer gave three weeks of severance. Um, yay? I ended up at a much better job, so I guess it all works out.

But they sure were not very generous with you! To be fair, they're usually not obligated to give anything, but with companies I've been with, even if they're going bankrupt, they'll cease operations before they've burned through too much cash to give a good severance. >>> 2 months+ is standard severance everywhere, and plenty of people >>> get six or even more figure severances due to seniority.

Maybe you've been lucky ... a company I used to work for, that prided itself in never having laid anyone off, eventually found that it had to, and I heard that it was *two* weeks. Now that is harsh. My three weeks wasn't too bad, once I added in vacation. And to be fair, they gave me a week of "you're still getting a paycheck and benefits, but don't come to work." I think there's a term for that. Then again, DH's company is going through massive layoffs after being acquired, and they get multiple months, and many of them received retention bonuses to keep them around while the company decided who to keep.

I think there's a term for that.//// I had that when I quit Starbucks. They told me to take the weeks notice off as paid holiday. Presumably so that they could be sure I didn't spit in the coffee or something. At the end of the day I quit, the manager said to me "You've behaved like a normal barista today - no-one would have know you've quit." I was like "um, yeah....it's called being PROFESSIONAL!" I personally like the name my brother coined for the place... Starsucks. ;o) Helen M Heh heh...we have a local businesswoman here who has actually written into her company policy that her employees are not allowed under any circumstances to bring Starbucks cups into her place. I want to appluad her, and not just because of a Starbucks boycott. Buffalo businesses are struggling, and this lady wants to put money back into her community. She won't dictate what her workers do off the clock, but whatever they bring in she prefers to have come from local cafes, of which there are plenty nearby.

There is a local coffee shop that sells bumper stickers that read "Friends don't let friends drink Starbucks" I need to get a bunch of these and mail them to people who feel about Charbucks as I do.

More purrs for Sabrina! What a poor little kitty! I'm glad that you are looking for her, and that she'll end up in loving hands, yours or someone else's. At least not Jacque A.'s. |
