Once my wife is finished with nursing school, that might be exactly what happens.
waht is tenure?
When you're hired, you're career conditional for 3 years, after that, you're tenured and it's harder to fire you. It's also an order of preference thing when conducting a RIF (veterans and tenure are the last to go).
whew good thing i have almsot 4 years

Yeah, that stuff gets all screwy. 1 year probationary folks first, under three year folks, the others, then 5 point vets, 10 point vets, tornado victims, those who suffered the loss of a pet recently, and those impaired by having a bone in their leg or the ability to draw oxygen. All sorts of exemptions.
Military retirees actually get the bounce before a lot of others due to some screwy sense of "fairness".
well will all the recent hiring they have plenty of under 3 year people to cut
