Re: But don't we need to import IT skills...
But here in the good ol' U. S. of A., they aren't required to pay you anything. And in most states, you're an "at-will" employee, meaning they can show you the door at any moment for no reason whatsoever. Hand you the money they owe you - for work performed, and unused vacation pay,
Of course, there is one upside to "at-will" employment; you can leave on a moment's notice as well. Get a new job lined up, with a definite start date, then be sure to take on a load of extra projects at the old company just before you leave. On Friday afternoon email everyone and tell them you start a new job on Monday.
