>>i fail to see the problem.
eclecticEel's boss: We had to let Bob go because of budget constraints. Here are Bob's uncompleted change orders. They are now your change orders. The Company needs these ALL of your change orders (you had 40 hours of work before inheriting Bob's) implemented by the end of the week to make the Widgetware 3.1a release date. Happy coding.
eclecticEel: But there's 80 hours of work there. No way! I've got personal commitments and I'll have it done by the end of next week.
eclecticEel's boss: This is Mahmud . Mahmud is gay and has no personal commitments; we're sponsoring Mahmud's H1B. Mahmud likes the United States and wants to stay here. We "understand" your commitments - so Mahmud has agreed to take on your change orders in addition to his own. Please familiarize him with the system.
eclecticEel: Great, thanks Boss - you're so understanding!
You familiarize Mahmud with the system; then security hands you an envelop from HR, escorts you from the building, and you receive your personal belongings in a week or so via UPS.
You're Terminated, just like Bob.
Mahmud moves into your cubicle and puts his "partner's" photo where the photo of your wife and kids used to be.
That IS how it works in right to work/hire/fire states - ESPECIALLY given the accelerated trend toward the progressive, collective, demoralization of corporate Amerika; and Daaaaave Ramsey is Full of Fairy Shyte if he pretends otherwise.
