We had a team member openly admit he was wanting to get fired so he could just get on unemployment and not have to do any work. Informed upper management he wasn’t planning to quit but also wasn’t going to do any work. He was fired with cause. You could always go this route. Good luck getting a job when the unemployment cash runs out though.

I’ll trade you!! Would love a job and some insurance right now

I—umm...yikes. 🥴🤬🤫

You guys know it’s super complicated to actually start getting that money? My boyfriends been furloughed and applied weeks ago and still hasn’t heard anything back. It’s also not super clear on if he will get the state and federal unemployment. Which means he could get ~500, less than minimum wage in Chicago. Idk. It’s a lot hard than it sounds and it’s super stressful not knowing what’s going to happen.
