the month of dec sucks for us this year

Don't let Ally quit that job. With the Obama everybody can sit on their ass for years plan, Ally could conceivably get unemployment until she can find a better position. Plus that sticks it to her company because it goes against the fund they pay into for unemployment insurance. Plus with privacy laws, her current employer can't say anything bad about her, just that she worked there. And with all the layoffs these days, it's so common that it's not really a negative anymore.

I should follow up with the fact that my previous statement is completely against my political views of welching the system, but the good people deserve a little break sometimes.

it would not be a layoff they are just firing people

i got FIRED for the store and me having low sales average. I got unemployment because i was fired for something that wasnt my fault. As long as i tried my best at my job i was eligable for unemployment. Trust me in these times its a blessing. Sounds like with the crap she puts up with she diserves the unemployment.

OH MY WORD! Every Line i read was getting worst and worst. Here I am sitting at home whining and complaining about how i bought a Pile Of Crap DSM.

Man I usually tell my friends ''THERE IS ALWAYS SUNSHINE AFTER THE RAIN!'' I hope no, i know things will start to get better. It started that very night when you moved your 1G to the front of the HOUSE!

That Evo was such a wonderful creation!!!

firing = layoff == unemployment eligible.

[Matt D.]

When it rains, it pours. You two keep your heads up and stay positive, as hard as it may be at this time of year.
firing = layoff == unemployment eligible.
Incorrect. Being fired because of being late, insubordination, unexcused absences, etc. is employee misconduct and you are ineligible for unemployment. If you file for unemployment after being fired for said reasons you can almost guarantee that the employer will appeal (because they pay unemployment insurance to the state), you will lose and you will have to pay back any unemployment you received.

Sorry to hear mark! We all have bad luck sometimes. Everything happens for a reason, remember that.

matt, I was fired for being "insubordinate" as they so called it (long story, but whatever). I still got/am getting unemployment. The place of unemployment is sent shit to file or agree with crap as well as you, hence why it takes 4 weeks for anything to even start. Like, getting paid. You even fill that out on the online app for unemployment.

You can still get unemployment for punctuality issues that could be considered misconduct, however, Matt D. is right generally you will not. I routinely conference call many unemployment hearings for individuals have been let go for various reasons. For the most part they grant more unemployment cases than years past, basically you have to do something really bad or stupid to get denied unemployment.

Sorry to hear about all your misfortune; usually shit like that just comes in droves, just weather the storm, it will get better.
