thanks everyone...
i just find it strange that a 'introductory' period is mentioned in the offer letter but it also says that this is an AT-WILL workplace where the employee and the employer can leave the contract at any time for any reason. if so, then what's the use of the introductory period? :-\

the only thing that i can think of is what some of you mentioned....and that's having no benefits for 6 months....

The strange for me benefits already started which was surprising becuse health insurance usually doesn't doesn't kick in until after 90 days.

Guys, can we please stick to the topic of the thread and not talk as if we're 'children'?

I've seen your pictures. Your receding hairline and all. You might be getting attention, but it's not the type you think it is.

So men with thinning hair are not relationship material?

Not if they have nothing else to offer.
