@Grumpy: You get situated?
Pretty much.
Talked to HR late in the afternoon yesterday to let them know I will not resign. This was after talking to the Department of Labor directly who warned that if I quit for any reason and NERIC challenges my unemployment I would lose it. If I get fired for performance reasons, they could challenge it but they would lose.
Odd kinda timing as it has been almost exactly 1 year since my last unemployment claim, in fact my last one is active until Sunday, so I am actually waiting for Monday to reapply. (I could apply now but it would be a weird "break claim" and would actually involve my previous employer before this one and my Dept of Labor guy said it would be a lot easier to just wait for Monday.
