If you do something on the side for extra cash (like drive for Uber) then lose your agency job in a layoff, does your little side gig disqualify you from collecting unemployment?

Depends on the state. I work part time every other weekend so I can collect partially for the weeks I work but can claim unemployment fully for the weeks I don't work at all. That's NY/NJ. Hope it makes sense!!

In CA, seems like ANY income would disqualify you from unemployment.

Check with your state's unemployment office for details. Depends on how much your side gig is bringing in. In Illinois, if you're under a certain threshold (which is pretty low) you deduct how much you made in a given week from your unemployment benefits.

Knew a guy who ended up doing Uber/Lyft full-time and was pulling in over 40k. That'll definitely disqualify you...but you'll probably be bringing in more than unemployment.

In NYC you get about 400 a week, and anything you makes comes out of that. So if you made 300 one week you'd get 100, but if you made nothing you'd get 400.

Thanks all! I'm considering doing something flexible to pay my student debt down faster, but didn't want to preclude myself of collecting unemployment benefits should I ever need to. I'll try to find the answer in my state (surprisingly difficult, btw), but sounds promising.

Hi, I am new to Deloitte and learning the Deloitte ways. I am just under a year and based on the feedback will be considered a low performer. When does Deloitte do their annual layoffs?

Remember one thing - If some companies are laying off employees then it's equally a good chance for the other companies to get talented resource . Here things will remain balanced mostly and there's no need to fear . Not all companies do layoff at the same time. You may end up getting a 100% hike too. Just believe in yourself and focus on your skillset, time to brush up and pull up your socks. Stay safe , stay positive !

Does anyone have input as to how most designers or graphic designers are doing during this pandemic?

Because of the partnership, it looks like I can only work freelance for them now.

Dear Fishes,

I had appeared for some interviews for the last one year and have official email ids of all the HRs from all the good MNCs.
I was thinking to share all the mail ids of those HRs here so that if anybody is affected due to layoffs or want to switch they can mail resume to those HRs.
Just wanted to check from you all if sharing official email IDS of HRs for helping people for jobs is wrong?

Please advise.
