SO had to apply. The system was so backed up that you’d be kicked out every step and start over. FL btw

My partner applied 2 weeks ago online, it was pretty easy and straightforward. Try to do it at off peak times, the page froze a couple of times so I had to re-enter everything. It was approved and should be getting first unemployment check April 7th. We already received the letter in the mail for it.

It’s so nice that every agency laying off people, have those left standing (and other agencies) trying to hustle jobs for their unemployed friends, but there are also a ton of people who were unemployed prior to Covid...so no severance, job hunting lot longer, and not earning income for longer time...hurting even MORE due to quarantine.

My remit quadrupled+ in a recent re-org with no increase in pay/promotion, my new director is new to the company and was zero help, and I was passed over for recent promotion during the comp cycle. The new director essentially began shutting me down any time I ask for clarity in my career progression. Now they have taken credit for the project I’ve been building over the past year+ without giving me props whatsoever to higher ups. What is the best plan of action here?
