Last Friday, tretton37 went into bankruptcy. Early last week they lost their company tax approval, and three days later they were declared bankrupt. Sad, but not the least bit surprising.

I had been hoping that they’d limp along past the January payday and I’d get my full final salary payment (accrued vacation days and flex hours) but no. Luckily the state salary guarantee will take care of about 80% of what I’m owed. I’ll only be losing the value of six saved vacation days from last year, and sixteen flex hours which were more than 3 months old.

Could have been much worse. If I hadn’t quit when I did, I’d be unemployed and frantically looking for work.
