Thursday March 5, word of the week is
mitigation.
I usually pull words out of posts from the previous week, but this one I just pulled out of our lawyer for a very pricey retainer.
After being a dedicated employee for over 20 years and suddenly receiving a
Termination of Employment Notice, without cause, due to the "current economic conditions", and being offered a severance package which is only half that expected, one may find oneself in the position of suing your employer for what may be rightfully yours; but in the meantime it's one's duty to make a concerted effort at finding and getting another job, in the "current economic coditions, and logging all attempts at such, to result in the
mitigation of said damages.
I'm thinking about a poll about member's current job security.
(This isn't me, by the way, but the closest one to me.)
Can someone mitigate our anxiety?
This is just a legal use of the word, please add to my example.
