Yep, I read up on it. I thinky I will be packing with multiple band-aids and a latex glove on my right hand.
MJ has nothing on my mad packin' style, bitches!
And almost sixty-five percent of that was actual compliment. Is that a personal best?

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

You need to contest that firing with the unemployment folks, Erin, so you can get benefits.
Wait, they fired you AND they're denying you unemployment?!?

Gack, Kristin! Isn't there anything they can do to waive the four-month constraint, given that this is entirely THEIR FAULT?

It just happened yesterday -- I haven't filed yet, so I dunno, Tep.
I would imagine that they will, though. I'm gonna file, anyway, and see.

The status is NOT quo.
Oh Erin, I'm so sorry.

Yeah, that's what I asked in the email I just sent. I'm trying not to freak out.

Okay, I totally misunderstood someone's post, then.

I always thought -- although it might not be true -- that if you're fired for performance, you can't be denied unemployment; it's if you're fired for stuff like theft that you can be denied unemployment.
But I could be full of shit.

Resort companies will find a reason to weasel out of things. Hubby and I had signed up for a free weekend in Vegas to hear a condo spiel, and the form had a place that said you met a minimum income level. The guy who signed us up said that didn't really matter and initialed that line on the form that we didn't check.
Six months later, we're trying to organize the trip, and the phone minion asked again about the income thing, and I said, no, we don't meet the minimum, and Oh, look, here's my copy of our form with that line unchecked but which is initialed by your representative. Minion's brain locked up at the discrepancy, she got a supervisor on the line who said, "Sorry, you don't meet the requirements, and according to the fine print your deposit is nonrefundable." Unfair and cheesy, but legal.

I think it varies by state, but most places do make a distinction between being fired for performance and misconduct.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Unemployment eligibility varies by state -- here in the land of "workers? have rights? you must be joking!", you're basically screwed if you're fired (as opposed to laid off). In other places, the regulations are a lot more liberal. So the general rule is document everything, find out as much as you can about your specific state rules, and be ready to contest if needed.
