Same thing. 404 not found.
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

Sorry 'bout that. It appears as if it's archived by Google but has been removed in the wild. It's just a picture of a tree that's fallen onto a house and carved a rather large hole in the roof.
I am not a number. I am a ... no, wait!

This is the 3rd cut[^] in the last 10 months. I'm just waiting for the axe to fall so I can claim my pay-off and bugger-off. Haven't had a pay-rise in 3 years and know I could earn more elsewhere but have been here long enough to make the pay-off reasonably substantial that leaving for another job would almost certainly mean I miss out.

You have to be comprehensive: managers and share-holders have their swimming-pools to pay for.
You always obtain more by being rather polite and armed than polite only.

Pay-off, really? I thought that legal protection was close to zilch. I thought that US companies could and would just go:
"Here's your box. Pack it. Now."
... such stuff as dreams are made on

AFAIK it all depends on what's written on the contract. Instead of having well detailed laws and a Collective Contract which is then integrated by the individual contracts (that is the system we have in Italy) in parts allowed by the law, they have fairly detailed individual work contracts. Not fulfilling obligations on a signed contract is thus taken way more seriously than in other legal system, up to meeting with jail time - which for example is a very rare occasion in Italy.

For their UK Staff (not sure about their US based) they offer a reasonably attractive package on the proviso you accept the redundancy and take it no further. Employee protection is quite high over here.

It's a state-by-state thing. Some states (as you would expect, California) have laws pertaining to wrongful dismissal. Most don't.
On the other hand, if you can show some sort of discrimination, you can nail their privates to a splintery board and make them jump to attention - but being of the wrong gender/race/&etc., these pretty much do nothing for me.

They can. The good ones offer severance for the same reasons they offer various other benefits.
I've been at my current place long enough to accumulate the maximum (10 weeks pay) severance I can get without undergoing a management lobotomy.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

I put my car up for sale, and got an inquiry from someone in Nigeria (at least, that's where the IP is located), so I sent this response:
I suspect you're trying to scam me but what the hell - tell me why you want to buy my car.
This is the response I got:
Hello ,
Thank you for your response. I'm glad to note in your mail that your advert is still available; I am genuinely interested in buying the car from you and also I will like to do business with you on a large scale, I am not living in your country presently, as to enable me come for a personal inspection of the property before paying for it. At this time, I am in Syria now and desperately need to relocate to your country and this is why I desire to buy the property from you.
I am Mrs. Aaminah Abdul-Azeem the wife of Engineer Ammar Abdul-Azeem, a Syrian Industrialist and member of Syrian business men in council Damascus. After the death of my husband, my family is under threat of President Bashar al-Assad for Resolute our support for a true Democratic Government in Syria and that is why they killed my husband. Due to the current President Bashar al-Assad protest in the country many families are running for their lives as soldiers are killing civilians, women and children.
You can find out in this website http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2193950/Syria-Fears-massacre-Syrian-government-dozens-dead-bodies-buried-mass-grves.html
I want to bring to your notice that I have in my possession the sum of 15.7Million Dollars. This is the money me and my husband have saved for our entire life as an Industrialist. I secretly locked up the money in a trunk box and deposited it with the Red Cross here in Damascus. My sincere intention in writing you is to plead with you to kindly accept cash payment for the property. This is because we cannot do any bank transfers from here following the war in Syria. Secondly, keep the balance of the money for me after deducting the cost for your property. Thirdly propose an investment I can do with the money when I come to your country. These are the major issues of concern to me now. I will give you 30% of the money as well as buy the property from you.
I have to take this chance because I have no other alternative but to trust somebody. I am an orphan with no brother or sister so I can not risk my life here to avoid an end to my family lineage. As a woman since my husband is dead, all I have is my two sons. they deserve a decent life since I want them to grow up in a peaceful environment. I will relocate to your country with my family and invest the money in accordance with law, your advice and support will be highly appreciated; we can work together and achieve a better future for our families.
If possible, may I request you to send me your information? Only if you are comfortable with this request. This is purely for the purpose of sending the money to you for the investment. The information needed are: Your full name, your phone number (mobile), your full address.
I anticipate your positive response and on receipt of your information, I will provide you with further details. An acceptance of my offer can change your life and mine too.
Thank you and i wait for your immediate and positive response to enable us proceed.
Yours Sincerely,
Mrs. Aaminah Abdul-Azeem
I haven't decided yet how I'm going to respond. It's essentially down to stringing them alng for the humor, or expressing my contempt for the new-world-order open border paradigm.
