Funny title but just found out my son got terminated from a position he took on by a company who designs computer programmes for hospitals and doctors offices, etc.
He graduated in computer science technology, then worked with a call in centre in town to makes ends meet. He is 24 and lives at home since graduating. Bought a car, and is really good with his money, pays room and board, etc. All the while sending out resumes, networking and then two months ago finding a job with these people who wanted him in his field to go to edmonton, alberta to open an office for them, train in North York (Toronto), which he started. However, person training him was fired, so he was left to do all tech support around Ontario,expenses, but downside was commute was two hours there two hours back. He persevered and they said, you are doing well, keep it up... so today, month end he was fired, paycheck was absolutely not what they said it would be; they paid one a month and he was to make 30,000 to start plus expenses.
He is okay with this, tried to talk to main guy, but it was getting too late to leave.
I support him, he is a great guy, his dad too. I was willing to cut him loose to go out west.
I feel for him, that's why I am posting guys... :)
