...i dont get it - sumpin aint right here...
...its my understanding that someone who quits/resigns is not entitled to unemployment benefits... even people who are fired do not always qualify for
unemployment benefits...
...i've fired people who immediately went and filed for benefits and thats okay cuz theres nothing thats says a person cant file a claim...
...i've gone thru the arbitration process numerous times as the employer's representative and never lost but that had nothing to do with me being
super clever or anything like that... i just followed protocol - and - never fired anyone without benefit of many documented warnings that they had to
sign or refuse to sign in front of witnesses...
...i've filed for unemployment benefits twice in 40 years... both times it was because i was unjustly fired... the first time, i won my case (no
lawyer, no big deal, just told my side of things)... i never collected those benefits because i couldnt survive on them... it was the principle of the
matter that mattered to me... same on the 2nd time but i didnt bother with arbitration... i just wanted revenge... making that jerk sweat and fill out
a bunch of paperwork was good enough...
...of course, things couldve changed - most everything else has... it used to be that your credit rating was based upon how much you borrowed v/s how
timely you paid off your loans and if you had ever renigged on a contract - stuff like that - but its not that way now and it hasnt been in a decade
or so...
...i dont know how anyone could survive on unemployment... besides that, theres the pain in the butt ritual of pretending to look for a job... i guess
if you're unmotivated, thats not an issue but i cant imagine living that way...
