1:) “Lost a job, but can’t get unemployment because co-workers and management say I was doing something wrong.” I have a friend that lost his job as he lost his temper and said some unkind words to a co-worker. The co-worker and bosses made it more than what it was according to him, but who knows. But witnessess to the event would not speak up for fear of losing their jobs. As I said, who knows, but I imagine that employers might be looking for reasons to fire folks, rather than just “laying” them off. (Does firing a person affect the company’s unemployment rate fee still?).
2) For college grads never having a job - can they collect unemployment? Would seem to me that they couldn’t.
3) When I was in college, all of the rejection letters we would get got put to good use. The local bar would allow one letter a night for a free beer!
You musst appeal and cause as much trouble for the commies as you can.
“Does firing a person affect the company’s unemployment rate fee still?”
I worked in taking UC claims for a lot of years. If the claim does not result in a payment, it has no effect on the employer’s unemployment tax rate. In other words, if you quit and do not have what the government considers “good cause” or if you are fired for what the government rules to be “gross misconduct”, the employer does not get affected. There are an incredible number of picky rules that result in more than half the people who lose their jobs getting nothing.
