<prompt> Human: I have a few general questions about thisA: How long does it normally take to sell a property? Nobodys been laid off yet, but an administrative meeting happened yesterday and they decided to sell the hospital sooner than later, and that theyre looking for a buyer. As a result, Im clueless to what the timeframe might be. B: Do companies generally assist workers in finding new employment? This is a big company with a lot of hospitals.C: Do companies provide any form of severance for laid-off workers in these kinds of situations? My dad has a sign-on-bonus thing that he was supposed to get over the course of two years, for example, and hes only gotten a portion of it. When he was laid off from his previous job, he got around 10-12k. He hasnt been laid off yet, but his supervisors mentioned this to him. Hell be looking for employment on Monday, but the main concern is how long his current employment will last and if theyll provide financial support when they lay him off as a result of the facility closing.  <response>: Dont count on any assistance or severance. Start looking for jobs before the job market gets saturated when the hospital closes probably too late. Build up an emergency fund ASAP. I dont know how so many people can stand going through life where they can be cast out on a whim with no safety net.
