Master's employment has ended. Yesterday was His last day. Even though the decision to eliminate His position is entirely about the bottom line, there are members of the board who would oppose His application for unemployment.
So, what might have been a relatively simple transition, leaving Him available to continue the work He loves as a volunteer, has turned ugly and adversarial. He is fully and completely engaged in the battle, and I have no doubt it is a battle He will win. I only wish that it didn't have to be fought.
It is likely to be a long journey as we wend our way through legal remedies and litigations. I don't imagine it will be simple or easy -- but then it seems nothing ever is. The image here seems to sum up the way that life goes for us these days. For now, perhaps we'll become "The Frog Clan..."

Wry smile from another member of the frog clan...we do, however, always seem to persevere. Perhaps it's about some fear that it will cost them, but what's fair is fair. Laid off is laid off, unemployment is owed.
