Do you mind if I ask where you live? Loosing your pension and unemployment when you leave your job sounds very harsh.

- GFischer 14y agoI live in Uruguay. I don't lose what I paid so far in pension, but I "switch" pension funds when I switch industries, so unless I get work at another bank, some special rules apply. When you switch jobs voluntarily, the unemployment benefits and holidays "counters" reset, so if you get fired within the first 3 months you get nothing, during the 1st year afterwards you get 1 month unemployment, etc.. This does not happen if you get fired (I'm currently almost unfireable since the company has to pay me the maximum amount of pay by law if I get fired without a serious offense, 12 months of my salary in addition to accrued wages). This of course makes switching jobs once you have job security very hard.
