Started a couple weeks ago but I knew things probably wouldn't last, company is having financial trouble and is also looking to move operations to downsize facilities.
It was more of a last in, first out type thing. Everyone else has been there a long time.

Clearly, you were just a drag on your company. You should work harder so you're rich as well. Besides, your job wasn't going anywhere, if not for this bill, right?

I am from Chicago- live now in a suburb northwest of Chicago-but still part of Chicagoland area- what is so hard to believe about that?

The cost of providing HC for employees is loads more than any fine they would be assessed for not providing HC.

You will likely see employers drop coverage for their employees.

Riiiiight, so what you're actually saying but are trying to veil it w/other accusations is that your firing has absolutely nothing to do w/the passage of this health care reform. Thanks for clearing that up. I guess this thread is done now, yes?

Could it be the fact we know the post is a bold faced lie??
