Comment Re:Layoffs have legal notice requirements (Score 1) 892

If a large company is going to have a layoff they legally must give notice.

OTH, a friend of mine gave notice trying to be nice because she felt loyal to the company and was immediately fired.

Personally, I think if you give notice and they do not give you two weeks pay, then you should be able to be legally counted as fired. They can't both say you quit and ignore your two week period.

I had a co-worker get fired 5 minutes before their shift was up. Stay classy, boss! I had one boss say I *had* to stay for 30 days, and I'm fairly certain I would have been terminated before then. Also who is to say the employer you're going to work for would want to wait 30 days?

Was it Coach K or Warren Buffet who said something like, "if you love your job, you never have to work a day in your life". It's hard to find a 'fun' job. There are so many crappy only-work-to-pay-the-bills jobs, a fun one is extremely hard to find. If you're not hurting for money, keep the one you enjoy.

There will never be a game like City of Heroes that allowed you such a level of creativity in bringing the inner superhero to life. I played for 8 years. It will be missed.

Indeed. I played for the better part of 5 years. Man, I loved that game. Sure there was some grinding (especially at the 45+ level), but I never felt so super in a video game. My level 50 tank (fire/ice FTW) could take on a shit-ton of bad guys and not break a sweat. They nerfed the shit out of that build and I slowly lost interest. CoH will be missed, thanks for the awesome memories Paragon.

The only issue I have with micro-transactions are that you shouldn't be able to buy game-changing powers/skills. This rewards the sweaty kid in the basement who buys every skill available with his paper route money, while hurting the person who doesn't have the money to buy . If you could buy shiny stuff that doesn't really affect the game, I'd be more welcome to micro-transactions.
