    I'm sorry, but I know NONE of the acronyms in your post. My recommendation would be to post this question in the forum that's specific to the state you live in

    Yes, that's EXACTLY how it goes down. ? Having to train new staff is a freakin' DRAIN on resources, and any manager/director/CEO knows that. No, they do not get joy out of firing
