I was laid off and told I should say I "resigned in lieu of termination" "for unemployment purposes." Why would I want to do that if those who resign are typically not eligible for unemployment?

Also, I was not provided with any documentation stating I was laid off (my position was eliminated). Should I reach out to get that in writing before applying for unemployment? I'm concerned that they will try to say I resigned (when I was actually laid off) so they don't have to pay out.

No absolutely do not do this. It is up to the employer to prove to the unemployment officer that you resigned and it's voluntary vs your story of being part of a rif.

After 6 years of temporary contracts and unstable situations, I find my dream job in my dream company. All of a sudden the world goes upside down and I get laid off. I start sending hundreds of applications, with only 2 recruiters getting back to me to say I don’t have experience for the job (this is how it works in Italy). Add a terrible health situation in my family and it seems there’s no light at the end of the tunnel. Ugh. 😞

Is it just me or do 90% of the jobs being laid off by big tech sound made up? Many job descriptions with multiple bullet points that all kinda revolve around the same idea.

Are these kind of jobs finally being exposed? Six figure employees getting paid to sit and bounce ideas off each other?

Hi Guys!
I am a Senior SF Admin with 9 years of SF experience. Mostly I look after a team consisting of Admins and do all usual Admin stuff plus BA/Consultant work. I recently got a very good offer from a Product company but the job role is Salesforce Support Manager. Though I don't mind being in support vertical but I am worried that I might drift away from SFDC Domain and get involved more in the Support process and eventually take my career away from Salesforce.
What do you guys think?
