Generally yes. Main exclusions are for voluntary departures and fired for cause

Dude you will be ok, just apply.

Yes.

What do you mean by fired for cause? If I was underperforming or not a good fit for the job can I still qualify?

I don't think underperforming generally is considered with cause. It depends on how severe though.

Like if there's not a lot of work being sold and they call the underperformers, that's usually a layoff.

You have to do something pretty stupid to be fired, with cause.

What would be with cause?

Harassment, expensing unauthorized items, misusing IT equipment, not charging hours correctly, not disclosing your conflicts of interest, etc. I mean if a firm wants to truly fire you it can find an excuse somewhere. But usually if it's just lack of work then it's a layoff

What happens if I can’t keep up with performance and tasking?

Apply. The company has to fight it in order for you not to get it.

I mean there needs to be significant documentation and significant underperformance. Depends on how bad it is. Unless I worked with you I can't say.

Op for cause basically implies you did something illegal or close to it. If you’re underperforming because you lied about skills the job required, probably not gonna work out well. If you’re underperforming because the jobs not a fit you’ll be fine. If your company offers a severance, you’re typically taking that in place of unemployment, not both

Yes

How hard is it going to be to for me to find a new job? Should I just stay and try things out? What next?

If I hit all my goals (ie, prove myself) within that time frame, I'll get a promotion and salary adjustment.
QUESTIONS:
Should this be in writing in the offer letter?
How detailed should it be? I assume I won't know what goals to set till I start...

Accepting this offer meant that I had to relocate to the other side of the country. Omw that was 2500 miles, I received a call that they rescinded the offer. Is there anything legal that I can do to sue them?
