After a year, they quite rightly look at whether you'd ever be going back, and a settlement can then be reached on an individual basis.

The person who started the thread on the other board is in the healthcare field as well. He argues that since he's dealt with SARS, violent HIV patients, patient death, etc., he should be permitted to take off as much time as he wants.
It seems he has wonderful benefits but abused them. 
Do you have a good benefit package? This job gives me the best dental plan ever. I just have to make time to spend some time in the dentist's chair.
P.S. DM, mail me the dogs & horse |
