Okay for anyone who hasn’t experienced this loveliness yet, unemployment ARE THE WORST. Had my first mandatory meeting yesterday and this woman was so condescending about my expectations, current salary (you’ll need to accept 80% of that if offered).. lady I just went from making $4000 biweekly and being able to pay my bills and mortgage to you paying me $800 every two weeks and now lecturing me on how to use LinkedIn and indeed 🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️ the way she asked if I knew how to use docusign. I can’t.

Well in some countries (like the U.K.) you can’t even access unemployment unless you’ve been at the company for over 2 years (and even then it’s peanuts) or you have absolutely zero in your bank account. Focus on finding a new role, I’m sure you’ll be in high demand and dealing with people who will pay you accordingly

I believe in the US, it’s 18m of previous work to qualify and it’s an average of your income from the 4 quarters.. it’s still peanuts.

It has been years since I went through a layoff. It was very difficult and that was way before the world is today. So let me say I wish you good fortune. It went thru anger at being forced outside a career path I picked for myself and the fact I had given 10years of my career to the company and was ousted after performing very well. I also felt the sting of others who were political staying when I didn’t play that game. I took a job to pay bills and I was upset for a while. But I eventually got back into the saddle and took control of my career finding a different job which led to the job I now have. Don’t give up. Get a baseline even if it means stepping back. Regroup and use the next year or so to reset and plan your next move. Keeping your eye on the long game. It will pay off.

I work in refining. I really enjoy the company I work for, but a competitor just offered me 30% more for my same position, same responsibilities and a 5% increase in bonus target as well. I always hear of bringing it up to your employer just leads them to letting you go earlier. I believe I’m a good worker and am on their high performer list. Should I give my current company the option to match? If so how does one bring this up? Or should I just put in my two weeks and leave?
