You know this exact thought occurs to me at least 3x a week. This week has been esp rough and it’s only Tues.

I do have 2 questions RE unemployment:

1) Do you get unemployment if you get fired, perhaps with cause? Say I call out a client for being a racist, sexist, generally condescending bigot to my team.

2) What fraction of the original salary do we get for unemployment?

Thanks in advance

I’m in California the max weekly benefit is $450, I believe we’re above average for weekly pay out of the 50 states

Usually you have to demonstrate that you’re looking for work to maintain unemployment benefits

Yes, it’s a fact that some people chose to uphold only the letter of the law while disregarding the spirit

Also, many states don't allow you to collect until your severance time runs out. For example, if you receive 12 weeks of severance, no unemployment benefits for 3 months.

Anyone hiring those who have been out of work for a year? I took time off to tend to personal matters, but I am now looking to get back into the workforce again. My previous experience includes time at B4 audit up to senior level and then transitioned to manager in industry. Senior/manager roles are preferred.

I don’t mind audit. However, I’d prefer it not to be at a B4, as I am looking for some semblance of a work life balance.

DM me if you have something above, thanks.

Hey! Any Google folks know if it’s possible to negotiate fully remote if a contract role is hybrid? Personally, I don’t want to relocate and go to the office on a contract role given the current economy. Plus, I’m assuming contractors are the first to go in layoffs. I just think it’s a fair trade off if I’d be allowed to work fully remote. I’m also trying to have flexibility to manage my Airbnb business in a different country. Same time zone as the home office if I’d travel weeks at a time.

I recently had an initial interview for a technical recruiter position. The guy on the phone stated that this is not a 9-5 job and long hours are expected. I proceed to ask how much PTO is offered and he said that is not recommend within the first 6 months of working and the harder you work the more PTO you receive. From that conversation, I saw instant red flags. Any thoughts?
