Heller Highwater is not:
- a place to practice viscious and vindictive "whisper down the lane" rumour-mongering;
- a place to bad mouth co-workers;
- a place for diatribes against specific people or specific incidents;
- a place to heap pity on poor Heller Ehrman staff by outsiders;
- a place that discriminates or sets margins noting who is outside and who is inside - we even welcome supportive Heller Ehrman attorneys!;
- meant to further the demise of Heller Ehrman, LLP.
Heller Highwater is:
- a place for support, a place of empowerment, a place of passion;
- a place to learn about job leads, resume preparation, skill building, training, new opportunities, and how to succeed in a new workplace;
- a place to keep up on the latest news as to how Heller Ehrman management intends to treat its support staff as it winds down its operations - will it be every woman for herself? or will it be "let me hold the door for you and is there anything else I can do for you"?
- a place of refuge.

Nice tip. Here’s the question I submitted to TurboTax:
My company went bankrupt in October 2008, terminated its employees, and refuses to pay me the four-weeks accrued vacation pay to which I was entitled. The value of this vacation pay is about $10,000. Am I entitled to treat this lost $10,000 as a “tax loss” on my 2008 IRS Form 1040? If so, how do I show it?
And the answer was?
Boy, the TurboTax tax advisor team works fast. A very knowledgeable guy called me two hours after I submitted my online query. He then immediately followed up with this email confirmation:
TurboTax ANSWER: “As I explained during our telephone conversation, the lost vacation time is implied income, so there is nothing to deduct. The vacation was just a benefit.”
thanks Chopped! I was wondering about the tax thing myself.
