If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Not sure where you are but not given reason and not paid leave I'd contact the local govt agency (i.e. 'manpower ministry', 'dept of labor') even if to ask their advice
(and hopefully send a good strong 'fark you' back at the people screwing you over.)
If it's really as you've stated, what they are doing is pretty much illegal everywhere. (Even in the case of employee negligence/illegal act or employer going into receivership a reason must be given.)

Hey Christian, you've certainly been missed around here. Sounds like your (ex-)employer needs a visit from a smart lawyer.
BTW you may like to take a deep breath and a strong drink before venturing into the murky waters of QA these days.

Nice having you back here...
Sorry for that job issue...
I'm sure you'll get something new soon, but anyway, even it could be for good, changes are always scary...

Sucks when this happens, especially when no one phones you to tell you why, at least then you might understand, but just to get an email, its a kick in the guts, especially when you have worked your arse off for the firm and made them LOADS of money.
Still, its just time to move on to a new contract!
Anyway, hows the guitar going? Did you ever learn sweep picking?

Welcome back CG, was thinking of you just the other day wondering how you were fairing.
Sorry to hear you got canned but that usually means another, better door is about to open.
Hope you and yours have a good holiday season.

I know that feeling. Been there myself. My wife got the same treatment last year two weeks before Christmas.
Sorry to hear.

Name and shame on Jan 3. Were you in tassie or the US? I can imagine local coding jobs would be rather scarce, good luck in the new year.
These guys are looking for someone Maatsuyker Island: Volunteers wanted [^], pay may be crap though but you should be used to the conditions.

Anyway... good luck for the future

WTF? That's not legal, I thought. If you have vacation time accrued, they need to pay you for it.

Random Thought of the Day:
Why did the developers of System.Collections.Concurrent name it concurrent? Many leading books about concurrency define it simply as a non-strictly-synchronous execution environment generally focused on responsiveness (could be asynchronous or parallel). It does not imply or require parallelism which the concurrent classes address
EDIT: I see the flaw in my assumption as stated below. Just a random thought I had at 2am and hadn't considered some cases

I mean... you can literally just do a google for it if you really wanted to answer that question yourself. Rob Pike has mentioned it in talks, Stephen Cleary mentions it in Concurrency in C# iirc, Joseph Albahari recognizes the distinction in Threading in C# by referring to parallelism as "genuine concurrency" implying a subset, etc. Even the wiki you linked to agrees that concurrency is a more general term that can involve things such as time-slicing, asynchronicity (yielding time-slices), and parallelism.
I do see the flaw in my statement now though. While parallelism I think is the worst offender by far and general time-slicing the least offender due to time-slices being relatively long - it is still possible to run into issues.

In short, it is the most appropriate name as that is what would be expected. The name might not be entirely accurate but that is of lower importance.

If you had addressed my initial question this would be a relevant reply. However, you explicitly went after my references which are easily validated via Google. Also my initial question is not easily solved via Google as time-slicing (a subset of concurrency) is only relevant if data-sharing between processes is taking place. This is not as trivial as it would initially seem as processes have their own address-space

Just put some very complicated code together and it works, perfectly, first time, in a very time critical event driven fashion, real time, without error.
Sometimes it just comes together, and you think, damn, that actually works like its supposed to. Doesn't happen much in the MSFT world!
