Thanks for the info. I guess I am just frustrated with the lack of information on benefits from LiftOne. I am not in the least worried about my job performance, but I am worried about my quality of life declining if the benefit package doesn't add up to Barloworld's. We have recieved very little info on this subject, and it makes me a little nervous. I (like some of you) have gone to work hurting, with a high fever, and just plain sick, to let my sick time build to have a sense of security, and now I am frustrated no one can give a answer if these will just vanish with the change.
