Not at all. Your firm and your taxes pay for unemployment, you might as well use it.. It's a bit of a pain but I have and would file. You do have to do some work by showing that you are applying to jobs. Because each state does it differently , check the website

D1, as I understand it, getting fired is pretty binary to unemployment agency: getting fired for low performance/utilization, or getting fired for major policy/law breaking. As long as not the latter you should be eligible for unemployment insurance.

From my understanding, and that is very little, it's either severance or unemployment.

Is getting let go due to low utilization firing or laid off?

Just wondering. Last summer during layoffs, colleagues and I were discussing this and weren't sure. Some people got laid off after YE and got severance, but others were let go during the year. We weren't sure if they got severance

Were you laid off? What is your service one?

Nope.

Getting fired is "for cause," e.g., violating company policy, failing to meet minimum standards of performance, etc. If you are fired, you are not entitled to severance. It is relatively rare.

Getting laid off (downsized, made redundant, etc.) is much more e common. Performance, eg lack of utilization, not demonstrating strong skills, is often a factor, but you may never really be told why. When you are laid off, you are entitled to severence.

You are definitely entitled to unemployment if you are laid off. Not sure whether that's the case if you are fired for cause. Any time you are eligible for unemployment, you should certainly choose to collect.

In most states you can get unemployment if you are fired unless it is something illegal.

Correct Mc2! But that way the money goes farther

Pride.

Yup. I think you have to be doing something real bad to not be eligible for unemployment..."My utilization was low because we didn't sell work" doesn't put you in that camp. "I liked to steal company secrets" does.

It’s hard to be motivated when rounds of layoffs happen and you see all your friends leave. But one thing that’s gotten me through all of this is working out. And when I say workout I mean the most pathetic, sad, barely completed beginner-level cardio dance routines. I’ve somehow forced myself to move while on lockdown and it’s somehow forced me to feel better. Whatever you’re doing, wherever you are: get up and move even if you don’t finish or end up going on a walk. Pls take care of yourself❤️

Hi Fishes, I've 5.7 YOE in digital marketing and i have an offer from PS for Senior Media Analyst Role in Digital Marketing Domain. After seeing all the layoff post i'm getting scared. It would be helpful if you could please let me know if anyone if fired from Digital Marketing Domain.

DOJ is Oct 31st, i dont have more time. Please comment if you know anyone from Digital Marketing.

So someone I know asked HR about a boot policy. When he found out that there wasn’t one, but his boss said there was (who gave the guys $ for boots and the claimed it on his expense reimbursements as something else) the boss got mad at him for askingHR (and in trouble for the expense reimbursements) and then 2 days later laid off my friend. There appears to be no notice of bad performance and this person always was the first person on the job site ready to work. Thoughts?
