Hi all, I just finished my recruiter phone interview today for “Risk Prevention Escalations Specialist, Global Risk Operations” role and it went well. I have an interview on Friday with the hiring manager. Does anyone know what kind of questions they’ll be asking? I only have 2 days to prep..

What’s sad is the toxic way so many Americans have been trained to think about our social safety net.
Conversation Starter
I mean, your original point had nothing to do with forced labor for convicted criminals. You stated the existence of slavery creates a situation where the social safety net is purposefully underfunded. This implies widespread existence of slavery for non-incarcerated individuals, whether you intended that or not.

1) Your friend may make 80% of what you make but it’s only for 8 months. So they aren’t going to be making as much as you think
2) Your friend has lost all the benefits you have and non-employer health insurance is expensive
3) Your employment history is unaffected so your future earning potential is better than your friends
4) Having this extra unemployment benefit will stimulate the economy faster because people will not default on rent, continue discretionary spending etc
So all in all, this benefits you too. Lastly, don’t refer to this person as your friend because they are definitely not if you can complain about something like this when it comes to them. Friends wish each other well
It’s frustrating people out of work aren’t suffering enough?

Cobra insurance is pricey, be grateful you have a job with BENEFITS

Exactly. Obamacare exchanges are open for people who’ve lost their jobs (qualifying event) but there are no guarantees you can get reasonably-priced coverage in your state that’s comparable to COBRA coverage. And with the extra $600/month, he won’t qualify for Medicaid.
I agree. Doesn't make me mad but makes me hesitant to go to work and work overtime every week. I would love to spend this time focusing on schooling my kids and still get paid. I envy your roommate
I’m glad you found a way to make your friend’s misfortune about yourself.
Did he also lose his health insurance coverage now and have to pay his employer portion under COBRA? Retirement contributions, too?
There is such a holier than thou attitude by those who support OP. Makes me laugh because they would be the first ones to look for tax loopholes or game the system to not pay their fair share and claim they were smart enough to do that, or whine if that roommate got a much better job and did much better than them. Grow up and stop being petty, jealous and whiny, dudes.
Focus on what good you are doing, if at all.

Oh yeah you can say it, been all over the local news. Popular with teen demographic. They've been riffing long before corona happened.

SM1 - his half of the rent is 800$ a month. There’s no issue there

If he was only getting a $422/week there definitely would be. And that’s assuming $800 covers all utilities, insurance, internet, cable.
OP, can you explain what each of the $600 and $424 each week is for? Assume one of them is unemployment benefits?
Thanks SM1, didn’t know that
Is that 1000 gross or net? Huge difference
Why is that sad? Deeply confused by your post.
My husband and I are both not working and would both 100% gladly take your job over being unemployed and not having any idea if we will work again, or will soon be living in our car with our child and dogs.
Is it just me or has anyone thought he or she is just joking?
And if not, that I’d like to see the dictionary face of hater?
Actually that is the federal and state unemployment insurance. Not just cause he got the virus. Hope they are ok.
After they make that first COBRA payment during a pandemic, there’s quite a bit less left for other expenses.
