unemployment

[thetragichippy]

Me too, in January but I bailed in December before the position was gone .  Got a good job (luckily without a pay cut) now that I am happy with, because I am not going to sit on a line with my hand out!

 

Exactly......I worked contruction as a laboror to avoid unemployment......man that job sucked

Yep you do what you have to provide for your family.  Collecting an unemployment check was not an option.   My old job wanted me to stay until Jan. to "train" the offshore people that were taking my job and offered 3 months pay after I was laid off.  My response to that was "then what?"  I was going to miss out on a couple of months of looking for a job while still employed for 3 months of pay after I am laid off?  And then what would I do?  I told them if I get an offer I am gone.   Got a job about a month after I was notified that I was being laid off. They were pissed but I could care less.

Funny how they wanted loyalty from you after telling you, you would be unemployed......That would be like leaving your woman for another woman, but still wanting her to have sex with you until the other one moves in.....

wow! lol

The company I work for eliminated my position in May, I took a large pay cut to make sure I still had a job.

I don't blame you. You were probably making more with the paycut then you would get with unemployment benefits. Some people don't have the option to do that though.

that is how corporate America works

And it is a great system because the worker has the right to go somewhere else and seek a better situation instead of some bureaucrat telling you and the company how much you are to make, how many hours you are to work, and what your job description is.

Lol.  Nice analogy.  I would have loved to tell them where to stick it but I couldn't until I got the new job.

nope not joking, security positions require that, I just got out of security and not into going back otherwise would have stayed in the first place. Desk jobs are my forte.

 

That's funny.......wish I could find a job so I could grow out my hair.....I've always wanted to but either Father or job always prevented it.
