In 2003 I was laid off. My boss was a terrible manager and a worse human being, and being let go ultimately turned out to be one of the best things that happened to me professionally, but at the time it stung. After the meeting with HR to talk about COBRA, severance, etc., the HR director asked me if I wanted to speak to my boss one last time. I said that I did, and the HR director called her over. In front of the HR director, I thanked my boss for the opportunity, gave her a hug, and wished her the best.Fast forward 6 months and I’ve found a new job (at a company where I still work to this day), but when it comes time to do my I-9 employment verification, I can’t find my social security card. Now, I wasn’t born in the United States, I was a citizen through my mother’s naturalization, but I had never gotten a US passport or applied for a certificate of citizenship. That meant that I couldn’t get my social security card replaced without first getting one of those things, nor did I have any other documents proving that I was eligible to work in the United States. This was obviously a big problem, but I-9 verification doesn’t require original documents, photocopies are acceptable. And who had a copy of my social security card on file but my old employer? I ended up calling the HR director there and explaining my situation. She agreed to make me a copy of my social security card and I could come by the office and pick it up. I did, gave it to my new employer, and began my new job.The lesson that I learned (thankfully the easy way and not the hard way) was to never burn bridges. Even though it would have felt good to tell my old boss what I thought of her, I doubt that they would have done me any favors had I done that, and I would have lost out on a job offer that has led to 16 years (and counting) of very happy employment for me. And yes, I did get a passport and replace my social security card, but it took a few months.

Social Security and Medicare aren’t welfare. I earned my Social Security benefits by working and paying Social Security taxes for 45 years of my life. I earned my Medicare benefits by working and paying Medicare taxes for 45 years of my life. These programs are a contract between myself and the government. They are NOT welfare.Sorry, but I didn’t post here to open a “Socialists R Us” forum. Take it somewhere else.Well. Some people can’t read. Or they just want to push their socialist agenda no matter what. You can’t fix stupid. Time to cut this off.
