When was that, Teach? I know Unemployment Division here in oregun has access
to (federal?) funds for "displaced worker" re-training, which would seem to apply in her case and Lecher's, at least now that so many of those high-tech jobs are going that way. Has she been in touch with her state's employment division lately? Mel Gamble My sympathies, Lech, about your programming job. My sister's job went to India, too. She tried to get some assistance in some sort of retraining, and was told that retraining funds were to help those who had never worked, not those who had worked until their jobs were shipped overseas. She had to sell her house, home of 25 years, pack up her beloved husband who had just suffered a stroke, and move. She is getting paid by SS to stay home and take care of hubby until she can find something and get on her feet again. "Lecher9000" wrote in message ... Interesting. I was divorced largely because i had a computer programming job, which I hated, and which made me cranky, and resent my wife for being able to stay home and watch TV and spend MY money. She simply refused to work ! I am blamed for "choosing poorly". I kept at the programming job because of the money, and I thought "at least my wife won't leave, because I make a lot of money". Well, she left anyway, taking most of MY assets, after having mooched off me for 13 years (free benefits, nice house, free psychiatrist, her own car, the whole 9 yards). After the divorce, I finally had some time to actually keep a lot of what I earned, instead of having her make it disappear. That only lasted a few years, though. In December, 2002, our programmimng jobs (at IBM Global Services) went to India, and about 200 of us "American" programmers got the axe. I look at it as a way to "start over" now. No ungrateful lazy "self-actualizing" dependent wife ripping me off, no high-stress technojob. I am now looking for a low stress job which I will enjoy, or at least not hate. I still pay my monthly CS. I do not regret having a child, but I do regret being so "stand-up Protestant Work Ethic do the right thing protect the woman and put your head on the chopping block you are to be used and abused anything else is unamerican and unmanly stop whining work harder earn more so the wife can spend more". Bulls**t. The sad thing is, even if I could do it all over, and got a prenup to protect me from "choosing poorly", the prenup would have been thrown out by 90 percent of the judges!!! God Bless all of you guys who are DOING something to fix the problems with NCP situation. |

Why the h*ll do I pay taxes!! They certainly don't seem to help anyone I know. The employment people told her that the retraining money was earmarked for getting people off of welfare. |

Makes no sense. "Displaced workers" are those whose jobs have left the country or disappeared through some other government action. NAFTA spawned a lot of it. Welfare recipients HAD NO jobs in the first place and wouldn't qualify for those funds. Mel Gamble |

Or maybe the funds were all tied up with other displaced workers. She was in Silicon Valley. THEY ran out of those funds 5 years ago.... Mel Gamble Mel Gamble |

look at the bigger picture my dear "father" drew.
if they don't move those jobs to India, those companies won't survive and will go bankrupt and you and your wife and your ex-girlfriend and her new husband will all lose their jobs and you will be on the street. then a heavily burdened welfare system won't be able to support you after sometime. so, keep those "dirty toothbrushes", it will come in handy for you, you arrogant, ignorant american. "Father Drew" wrote in message news:MHuJa.163331$eJ2.162572@fed1read07... You gotta be kidding me! I have friends that have lost their jobs because our company has moved the work to India. My friends are having a hell of a time finding a new job. My job is at risk as well as our company migrates to India, along with lots of other major companies. America is selling out it's own employees for cheap labor in India, I wouldn't send a dirty toothbrush. -Drew "T-shirts" wrote in message ...
