Mike was laid off in 2001 from a job/company he *loved*. He has changed industries/jobs a few times - but never has been as happy as he was the 9 years he worked there...Well they called him 2 weeks ago to interview for a position, and today he received a FABULOUS offer
They have restructured, and are much more stable - in fact they haven't had a layoff since he was let go....He mentioned to the HR lady concerns about me being in the middle of reconstruction and switching medical plans and having to start over w/meeting a new deductible etc...Well, she negotiated a signing bonus in the amount of the maximum deductible/out-of-pocket costs for the entire family, so it won't cost us a thing to start over!!! She also verified I could "seamlessly" switch mid-process, and that my surgeon is on the preferred list (it's a PPO plan). WOW! Plus their coverage is much better (we used to have it), so we can make some headway on the bills we've been stuck with due to our current lame-o plan...
There is a hefty raise, some other perks, and he'll be working with some people he already knows and considers friends...
This will be SUCH a great thing for us!
