Dave just received the news that WaMu is relocating the financial accounting dept to Seattle. So, about 100 Vernon Hills employees will be layed off. It's happening in two phases. The first is October, and the second is Jan, Feb, or March. Dave is in phase two. With the package they are offering and his vacation time, he will have 4 1/2 months paid when he stops working. It's amazing what can happen with just one person quitting. I hope Dave's old boss doesn't feel too horrible. (One of Dave's employees already sent his a text message...she's kind of an idiot and has no tact.)
Maybe Dave will end up working for his old boss at HSBC after all?

Holy moly - are you guys nervous about potentially having only one income for a little while? Or is the market for people like Dave so good that this can be chalked up to an opportunity for him to do even better? The times, they are a changin'....
Yikes! It's scary, but I can see Dave turning this into lemonade. This job has been dumping too much on him, anyway. All that will look good on a resume' Best wishes - and good luck!
