星期一产假刚刚修完来上班，星期四午饭时分被叫去通知我的职位被裁掉了。得不到任
何解释。大的经济背景下，我。太渺小了。可是，对于我的孩子们，我就是天。绿卡还
吊着，EB1估计也就废了；老公的EAD也要跟着废了---忽然间就走到了悬崖。上头一再
强调“it’s not performance related”,也否认与我的maternity leave 有关，可是
我无法不如此认为；因为产假前我还是项目不可或缺的骨干，我的移交工作做得太完美
了吧，以至于12周后，我要离开的时候，可以走得干干净净—what a good candidate
to be laid off, what an easy target! 要好的同事打电话，写信表达了震惊和慰问
，我心里充满了感激。
不如归去啊！ 只是8年的积累，鸡肋阿！为了我的孩子们，请为我我加油啊。。。

Goldman giving veterans incentive to leave: report
By John Spence
Last update: 9:25 a.m. EST Dec. 11, 2008
BOSTON (MarketWatch) -- Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (GS:
Goldman Sachs Group, Inc
Last: 72.41+0.88+1.23%
10:19am 12/11/2008
GS 72.41, +0.88, +1.2%) is giving longtime employees an incentive to leave before the end of the year, the Financial Times reported Thursday. The company as of 2009 is extending the length of service required by Goldman employees to be eligible for the firm's full retirement package, FT said. Rather than requiring a combination of age and years of service to exceed 55, the new rule will call for 60, according to the report. Like other Wall Street firms, Goldman has been hurt by the credit crunch and announced layoffs.

Five states, including Ohio, are in danger of running out of funds they use to pay unemployment benefits, meaning they may have no choice but to increase taxes on employers, cut benefits for laid-off workers or borrow the cash.
