DH was told two weeks ago that his department is being "offshored" to India. They knew this was coming so starting a few months ago, 5 out of the 8 developers in his group have quit. He's not thrilled with continuing to work, but ...
- his supervisor is also getting axed and has been approving 1 or 2 days vacation a week
he gets severance if he works until the end of June
and he gets a bonus
He's been saying that if he gets a good offer, he wants to quit now. I realized that making the June payout more concrete would help. He'll need a replacement car and wants a used 3 row SUV that costs about 20K. Well 9K would go really far toward that, so now I'm saying that's an engine and we can put the money directly toward a car.
Our only debt is medical and mortgage. He'll drive the car he has until it dies, but I'm surprised it made it this long.
