  • I am not trying to flex but I have a Sprinter van and camper trailer with a Starlink mount that my wife and I use to “go off-grid” in Wyoming and Montana (Yellowstone, Grand Teton, etc, area). It doesn’t suck. If you can make just enough to maintain a lifestyle that keeps you in nature, I highly recommend it.

    PS: A lot of people (young and old) in my area of Wyoming do that. They work the high tourist seasons and odd jibs in the low season, then spend the rest of their time out in nature.

    Salaried employees get paid by default. Someone has to notify accounting to not pay the person, not the other way around. This has been the process for every company I have ever worked for, or owned. I am not saying that what you are saying isn’t true, I am saying that it is fucked up.

    Severance, you’re right. Unemployment is likely still on the table depending on the state. In Texas, the person can file for unemployment. The company can challenge saying they were a no show but the employee can argue that it isn’t true. It is just easier to allow unemployment to just cover it.

    EDIT: I once had a guy work for two week as a 1099 and he still filed for unemployment. That got denied because he was never an actual employee, but had we not noticed the claim in the mail, he would have gotten paid.
