There's risk involved in changing jobs but I feel particularly concerned about someone who left Jeff's office for a position in NC.

His Jersey house hasn't sold yet and, in fact, his family is still living here. Within two weeks of starting his new job, he was fired over office politics.

He has no desire to return to NJ and Jeff can't exactly take him back if he did. NC is growing and he ought to be able to hook on somewhere there. I think that he left because of cost of living issues anyway. But, Jeff lamented, "You know, you hear about people living one paycheck from homelessness and this guy isn't one paycheck away, probably, but he might be two or three paychecks away."

Yeah, it can be that dire that quickly. Prayers welcome & appreciated.
