Two questions - what did the guy do about that ultimatum? That can't *possibly* be legal... Two, why would you keep working in what could be considered a 'hostile' invironment?

I have NO doubt that the game is worth $5. Heck, even Carmageddon was worth THAT. I don't see myself paying $50 like I did for GPL. Recently I've been waiting for the prices to drop a bit. I wouldn't buy N3 at $49(or whatever), but I bought it at $29. Perceived value. When the price drops to where I think it should be, or I see something that raises the value for me, I'll get it. Easy.

Back in the mid-80's, I lived in NC & worked at a Coca-Cola plant. A guy there was getting married to this woman who worked for Pepsi. He was told in no uncertain terms that if *she* continued on in her job after they married, he would not be working for them. That's why I wouldn't work non-union any more. They tried firing me last year, I just ended up with an equivalent of a 3 week paid vacation. I've given my boss hell ever since. He can't do anything about it, or it'll be "harassement". <GG> -- Chuck Kandler Windows is just a virus with a GUI

Last I had heard, they were hiring a lawyer & were gonna fight it. I left state shortly after that & came back here to Michigan, so I don't know how it ended. But an Average Joe who can't really afford to fight it will really get screwed over in a situation like this. In a union, *they* pick up the legal tab for you. -- Chuck Kandler A man is no less a Slave just because he is allowed to choose a new Master every four years.

I'm sure it's not. Last I heard, before I left the state & returned to Michigan, is they were hiring a lawyer & were gonna fight it. Good for them, I hope they won! OTOH, the average poor working Joe could never afford to fight such an unreasonable employer. At least, as a Teamster, any necessary fees to get my job back are covered by the union. > Two, why would you keep working in what could be considered a 'hostile' > invironment? Yeah, right. I've never been the type to roll over & play dead for nobody. You want me gone, you'd *better* do it right! At this particular place of employment, the only firings that have stuck have been the ones where people have chosen to just walk away & say screw them. There's been well over a dozen firings, all overturned in the past year or so. They'll *try* anything, doesn't mean we're gonna let them succeed! <g> -- Chuck Kandler A man is no less a Slave just because he is allowed to choose a new Master every four years.
