Suggestion: get out your Bible and read Ecclessiates Chapter 3, then the whole Book of Job. Whatever you are feeling about your current situation, God is with you right now. And knew you’d be here. And has a plan for you after you find your way through the challenge. You’ll only lose faith and hope if you turn your back on God - but will feel His infinite love if you open your heart and mind.

Back in the 70s and 80s, Mudcat was a popular nickname for musicians and I picked up playing bass guitar while stationed in Germany. There was another fella who had the name Mudcat, and after he PCS’d to a new duty station, others started calling me the “new Mudcat” and it kinda stuck.

Heh, got that nickname many decades ago when I was a young enlisted fella in the Army. Been on FR since 1998, was still using the nickname when I transitioned to the reserves, and remember when JimRob was just getting this place set up. Bunch of us migrated over from one of CompuServe’s discuasion groups when the PC censorship got to be too much.

California is an at-will state, which means in theory tye employer can let someone go at any time without a reason if there is no employment contract in place.
On tghe other hand, wrongful termination lawsuits happen all the time in California because there are so many discrimination laws in place. At a minimum, your friend likely qualifies for unemployment. EDD has precedent Administrative cases in place, describing in detail situations where the employer is still on the hook for their UI insirance reserve to pay for all or part of a terminated employee’s UI benefits.
I am not an attorney, so the opinions here are my own - I am an administrative exec for a group of companies in California that share common ownership, and have a great HR/Payroll manager who reports to me.
Good point, and therein may lie the rub: anyone in CF must be thinking Holy Smokes if they’re doing this to one of their own, what must they be planning with all of the evidence that’s been gathered about us?
Holy cow, thanks for that - hadn't had my coffee yet when I read the words MG Spitfire and wondered what Philip K Dick alternate universe I might've woken up in this morning 😄
