Director is really chill and down to earth, one of the best I’ve had in my working career and apparently they are consolidating a bunch of different divisions and regions into one… They said there’s a “bloodbath coming” Because They are consolidating across the company into one specific region and department. But there’s no way of knowing who will be affected
If you’re fired, you also can’t claim unemployment.
You can only claim unemployment if you’ve been “let go.”
Obviously, OP’s situation is going to be “let go” if they’re doing it to tons of people in the company, but I wanted to make it clear that if you’re fired-fired, like for negligence, or even made-up negligence, or whatever the bullshit corporate reason for shitcanning you as an individual is: they won’t pay unemployment.
Depends on the state.
There’s a lot of variability in the way it works, even then.
Still probably best to look for something new, right now.
this depends. ive been ‘fired’ and was able to get it (for an entire week!) after proving the reason they ‘let me go’ was false. basically, they were unable to provide documentation for their reasoning and were forced to pay up.
