If you get fired from your ad agency, can you still file for unemployment and get accepted for it even though (on paper) it’s not the employer’s fault you’re unemployed, like layoffs?

Were you terminated without cause? Or with cause?

Without cause you're entitled to unemployment. With cause means you lost your job at your own fault and NOT entitled to unemployment.

It's usually rare for companies to fire for cause (it opens them up to getting counter sued if they're wrong) unless it was really serious. Like embezzlement, drug related, etc.. but even then the company has to be able to proof it, which is hard. Hence why most people get fired without cause.

Not if you are fired for cause. Do everything you can to get the employer to agree that it was a layoff before you leave or sign anything. Otherwise, you are not eligible for unemployment benefits.

Apply for benefits regardless. If you were fired for rule breaking or behavior, you may be SOL, but many states are at will and you do not have to be fired for cause.

Getting laid off is without cause. You should get unemployment.

Seems like OP said they were fired and it was NOT a layoff.

If you were fired for performance you might be able to. You need to ask your former company if they will support you. Ask your HR contact if they will make you eligible.

I have been interviewing for a new job but I keep hearing about layoffs and a recession coming. Is now a bad time to switch jobs?

I made a couple errors at a new job. An important document to be distributed had wrong information on it, which was proofread by 2 other people. Then a couple of typos in emails, the person micromanaging me told me to send out but I didn’t fix the errors. Failed to meet a deadline but completed 95%. I was written up over all this last week, fired this week. There’s a lot more to this but I think it’s because the DM doesn’t like me.

I started a full time in-house design job that pays extremely well. I barely have to work at all. This makes me very confused since I kept hearing stories of people working 60+ hr weeks as designers at ad agencies. I am not complaining, but I have this creeping irrational feeling that I’ll get fired for not working even though there’s nothing for me to do. Should i be making up projects or asking for more work? Or just chill out? I just feel very confused. Are a lot of full time jobs like this?
