If laid off or let go in a RIF, would you go back to train/show employees

[XanaDUer]

certain aspects of your previous job, technical or otherwise?

1. The company would have to make it worth my while

in wages, conditions, etc.

[XanaDUer]

4. Hello

:hi:

[livetohike]

13. Nice to see you too

:hi: Hope all is as well as can be :-).

[JHB]

2. How about a "Yes, but only because I need the income"

sort of covered in "depending on the circumstances", but could probably be broken out into a separate response.

[XanaDUer]

3. Thank you

It would have to be a freebie, based on pity. :)

5. As long as it's on the clock, it's the professional thing to do...

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

6. And if your replacements can't do the job ...

would you come back to your old job as an independent contractor?

[XanaDUer]

7. Yes

My hourly rate would be quite higher. :)

[CherokeeDem]

8. I would...

but only if I were paid at consultant rates, or if my employment, with full pay and benefits, was extended through the training period.

However, I would fucking hate it....

9. At that point your a "Consultant" - and they get paid more - A LOT MORE

If you were paid $20 per hour your consulting fees should be $70 per hour

If they don't like it - tell them try finding a consultant / trainer cheaper. They wrote the rules - you didn't

[XanaDUer]

10. I love your dancing banana man, btw

you know, I am shocked to learn what consultants make in many different fields.

[FreakinDJ]

11. If ya Love the Bananna - then "stick it to Them"

Consultants are a contract employee - No Health Benefits, No Unemployment Insurance, nada .. that is why the High Rate

But don't ever be afraid to stand up for yourself and DEMAND what you are worth

[XanaDUer]

12. Oh yes

I always used to ask conservatives against national healthcare - BUT- wouldn't NHC open up a ton of new entrepreneurial endeavors? Think of all the businesses that could be started if people were free from being benefits' slaves!?

They never had an answer to that one.

14. That is something that was in my brother's termination agreement and

Severance package. He went over the complicated and detailed terms very carefully with a lawyer, and decided to accept them if certain specifics were drawn into the agreement, such as how much additional work it would entail, what is considered acceptable, etc. He also took a lump sum payout to prevent them withholding further sums by claiming he hadn't performed according to agreed terms.

He's looking for work now. He hasn't been called in for help yet.
