Sorry if this isn’t the right bowl! I was fired from my last job due to performance issues. I filed for unemployment and was approved, however my former employer filed an appeal. I’m not even sure what they’re protesting but it’s making me really nervous. What should I do now?

You might have better luck posting in the “Law” bowl, which is larger and more generalized than this one. No one is going to be able to offer you true legal advice over this app, but someone with experience in labor and employment law might be able to give some thoughts on hypothetical fact patterns similar to yours. Good luck, I hope it all works out!

Will do thanks!

Am I being a complete idiot? Current employer decided to move to another state more in line with their industry. We can either move with them, find a job elsewhere, or commit to stay until our position is transferred and be awarded a severance package (16 weeks pay). I’ve been getting reached out to by recruiters and almost passed out when I saw the salaries. I’m severely underpaid… like by 50% or more. So why am I struggling to leave??? Why do I care that I won’t be committing??

They want to "customize" the role for my experience, but I'm afraid it will just be on paper and people will expect me to know things I just won't. I can't afford to be fired. Thoughts?
