Sometimes bad things happen to good people for reasons why don't know why. And this is what has happened to BIL. We just have to have trust that good will follow, and it has. My BIL has lost his job, the store he is manager of has been poor producing (because of economy) along with 5 other stores. They have offered him a different job in another store. He won't be superising other employees, he won't be first in and last to leave. They will give him the same salary he has had, the truck they have loaned for work they will give to him outright and they will continue paying his gas. MY BIL is so happy to have been relieved of such a burden and still be able to retain his life, that he is dancing in joy. I have never heard of a company being so benevolent to an employee that is "making an accomodation" (my words) for a disabled employee. Some of the other 5 managers have already quit (I assume they were not offered the same as my BIL and that they were not disabled). Evidently it had nothing to do with his health insurance after all. So this is an eample of a bad thing happening which turned out good and we are all so relieved and know it will be better for his health to be relieved of so much stress which running a store entailed. And I am just so happy for them!
