I am sorry that you went through all of that in the workplace. I know you know, that unfortunately, there are way to many stories like yours. I have to wonder if this is what launched you into your home business ventures. Thanks again for coming back and answering my questions. You know you are welcome anytime!!

I would have said, I think, that due to reorganization in the company, qualifications for my job changed. (That was the reason I was given.) Incidentally, the new person they hired didn't have those qualifications I supposedly needed! He was a male and younger, so I was told I could have fought it due to discrimination (age and sex). But I decided it wasn't worth the bother since working conditions wouldn't be pleasant in that situation and they really were changing the nature of the job duties. However, the new manager did give me a nice termination package. (To stop me from bringing discrimination charges?) Concerning that next job I applied for, I was told I was "overqualified." Was that a nice term for "too old," having more knowledge and experience than the person doing the hiring, or what? Hi Darlene,

One question, maybe two... Did you apply for another job after that job? If so, what did you put on the application about why you left the job? Did you say you were fired?

I've discovered, through personal experience, that an employer will adjust firing facts to meet their needs. In my case, I would have preferred the new manager (the one who hired me retired) to have been honest and given me the true reason. He said it had nothing to do with my work...I was doing a great job. They were simply doing some reorganization and changing the qualifications for my position. Anyway, I went on to other things and didn't bother to fight it. You’ve covered some interesting facts, Darlene.

Thanks for stopping by. I appreciate your comment regarding Germany. And your comment around "no job security". I love to hear more about why "without cause" works for you. Do share! Hi Ali!

However, IMHO the economy here lacks a certain dynamic aspect that is found in the US economy. I think it is a matter of perspective as to which is better. Personally, I've grown up under the belief that there is no such thing as job security so plan accordingly. For me, I at-will employment and "without cause" work just fine.
