Seems so.

With furloughs you still have benefits, usually no salary then you apply for unemployment - different than layoffs

It depends. As an employee though, you should treat it as the same

No - in some cases it is for employees whose jobs are not possible during SIP [e.g. personal trainers, hair stylists, dog walkers] whose jobs should eventually open back up as we return to normal.

I wish I would have had this bowl ten years ago 😔 I recently was diagnosed with ADHD.

I’m two weeks into taking Wellbutrin but I think it takes awhile to kick in, my psychiatrist suggested starting with that…

I work in insurance. I was working for an Allstate agent and was fired the day after my grandmothers funeral for being “unenthusiastic in our morning meeting”. Now I’m having anxiety searching for a job. I don’t think I want to sell anymore yet every single recruiter I interview with says I should, that I have a “salesperson mentality”. I’m burnt out. Has anyone else felt this way? How did handle it? Is there a different career path I can take or am I destined to sell insurance forever?
