If you have a new job and fear that your employers don't like you very much and that your days are numbered, don't start to panic until you've been there at least one month. According to a report published in HRMagazine, employers don't fire you immediately. What it adds up to is a three-month leeway before some new employers will give you the ax. Words to work by. Alexis M. Herman, U.S. Secretary of Labor, understands the workers she speaks for.
Work is as much a source of dignity as it is a source of income.
And she said it with dignity. The best policy. I've received a lot of mail and phone calls from employees who say they were encouraged to retire early and did, only to find out if they had waited a few months they would have gotten better retirement benefits. Otherwise, employers are liable under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act. The case involved was Ballone vs. Eastman Kodak.
