 Thanks Rose,

You are SO precious to me too.    You are right.   I can't get all stressed out over all this.   He can draw unemployment although he has not worked long enough in Texas to draw it here.   He will have to file ( or try to anyway ) and draw it from Ca.    Gee....I really didn't need this at all.    On a positive note my middle son may have a job in the next couple of days.   He will find out on wednesday.   Love ya and you take care of yourself !!!

So, does that move the location of your support group meeting?  A suggestion, the DFW Supporters met at the Grand Prairie Library yesterday.  They have a conference room that we used at no charge.  We could bring drinks in with us.  You might be able to do the same at a library near you.  Less of a chance of outside noise interfering.

Best of luck to your son.  Military man, he will find something else.  Just tell him to get out there and look.  Jobs don't come to you, you have to go to them.  Ask Jennifer.



GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!!!

 George.....he was on top of that on friday when they suspended him with pay.     My husband has been talking to them where he works and he is going to take his resume in to his job tomorrow.    Hopefully something will come up really soon.   Jonathan is a great person and a very hard worker.  He moved up the ranks of the Navy very quickly.    I know he will be fine.     I know that God will provide him a even better job than with Starbucks.    Yes.....I will look into a Library near my house tomorrow if I get a chance.    Starbucks stinks to me right now.

Starbucks is now on my boycott list as well!!!

Viv, I know for a fact Bank of America Mortgage (we have a Plano, Richardson, Addison, and Ft Worth location) is and has been hiring, especially for management. I don't know how much the pay range is, but I know that the benefits are extremely good as well.

There is a manager at my location who was hired solely on his managerial experience and he was former Air Force. He had no mortgage experience. My personal manager worked at T-mobile before BOA. No finanace or mortgage experience whatsoever. So tell him to please look into it!

He may also want to check on Lockheed Martin.  He can go to LockheedMartin.com and check by geographic preference or by job titles.  Wish him the best.  He will land on his feet!!

Vivian I'm thinking if I were you I'd empty out my bank account, fly to Cancun in the middle of a big old hurricaine, drink myself into a stupor, hire a locksmith to change the locks on the house, turn off my cell phone and not return home for at least a month.  God Bless your heart-it's been one heck of a month!!

 So sorry to hear they went ahead and did that to him, (((VP))) ..  

  If I were your son, I would not hesitate to go ahead and file for unemployment while looking for other work.   Since he worked for SB for so long in CA before only recently coming here, it should go through the CA system, which hopefully is a little more "forgiving" than Texas as far as paying benefits to terminated employees (vs. ecnoomic layoffs) .  In any event, SBs has to give a valid reason for his termination to disqualify him (and present witnesses to same, if appealed) ...  Our standard in Texas is "work-related misconduct" ..  It doesn't sound like, from what you've said so far, the did anything that would rise to that level, as far as failing to follow company policiies, insubordination, missing work w/o leave, etc.    As Georgie and I have opined, it just sounds like some young kid subordinates didn't like him making them work!   I think a job referee would rule in his favor ..

   Do you know if SB has offered him any kind of severance package, btw?   I bet not ..  That wouldn't surprise me with them .. 

   btw, I have a good friend in McKinney who, along with some of the Dallas Desperados (arena football team) have started up a sort of a lower cost version of Starbucks, called "Coffee Haus", or some such.   Their first shop has opened right off the square in McKinney earlier this year.  I could talk to my friend to see if they would have a position for him with their co.   Just let me know.
