Sue,
I would appreciate that...I only know that when  company lays employees off, they qualify for unemployment...but I have never been in this position before...I do not even know how to navigate the system..

  I am so sorry that this has happened to you.  I know first-hand how devastating and scary job losses can be.  I have a sister who is a HR manager.  Can I forward your email to her and ask if she has any words of advice or thoughts on your situation?

(Guess that 60,000/yr was just so much more than I was worth). > I understand that not being there for the past 5 weeks has made it bad for her, but I took no salary for the time that I have been off on sick leave. She gave me no notice or severance package. She said she would not cancel my health ins. until the end of the month. She said that she decided to tell me this way so my husband could be there for support. (I almost actually said out loud "How thoughtful of you". But I did not. I just got home from packing up my office. I also know that having to take time off for more dr appts than I ever thought I would have is hard on the practice. I had started back 1/2 days on Thursday, and there is no way I can do a full day yet. > I am still too upset to start polishing the CV and looking for another job, but is there some recourse that I might have?
