don't think i can collect unemployment considering they didn't "fire" me, they tried to demote me.. to a part time $6.55 an hour worker after i'd been making $35,000 a year salary. I declined that horrible option, thus I quit and wasn't fired.
I just got off the phone with him. He told me If you position was eliminated or you were offered less pay, you would qualify
He was making $37.00 an hour. The company eliminated 11 jobs from my department. they offered him a job at 70%. He said no
This is his 3rd week of unemployment. He also received a severance package $56k before taxes for his 18 years of employment
Just curious is he pension elgible with those years of service or will he have to wait till a certain age? Thanks.I just got off the phone with him. He told me If you position was eliminated or you were offered less pay, you would qualify

Very Nice severance package...Most are not getting severance, these days, thats why the are laying people off, which sucks

stef he is 54 years old with a medical condition. I believe at 55 you are allowed to take out your 401k without penalty. (I may be wrong)
I also thought he said he can take social security at 55 at a reduced rate.
I will ask him on sunday
I think its 59 and a half on that no 10% penalty 401k withdrawl. He might be better off getting a disability retirement, think they have better rules.
yes you can..........fwiw
If your company offers you a different job at less salary and you don't take the job, you can receive unemployment benefits.
We just had layoffs at my place of employment (again). My friend refused to take a job that was paying less. 30% pay cut and a different job title. Management told him he was not eligible for it
they were wrong
He has unemployment benefits for at least 12 months, $400 dollars a week .
sorry to hear man
i did not get laid off yet but they cut back the 401 contributions to 0 and they raised health insurance.... the scum sucking place I work for made over 2 million in profit last year but they did not meet that " budget" fucking greedy bastards
Another food for thought on those collecting unemployment benefits.
Besides trying to make under the table money on up coming baseball season,get a menial job at a gas station or something.
Maybe 20 hours a week and unemployment will send you the difference as to what you would have collected and what you made.
This way you won't drain all your eligibility and will stretch out your weeks/months hopefully not years.
But looks like you guys will be out of work for a long time,sad but true.
Also on your 3 contacts a week,it's a fucking waste of time and gas.
Fax and or e-mail your resume and your golden.
I sacrificed everything and moved 17 hours away from home. I have worked 70 hour weeks for the last 7 months and was just told on Tuesday that I am being laid off. They want me to finish the project I am on so they told me to stay until April.
I would like to go back home where I still have a home and girlfriend and start looking for jobs. If I leave earlier then when I was going to be laid off would I not be able to collect any unemployment?
I use craiglists and e-mail 3 a week. Not sure how other states are but in Washington you can get a max of 541.00 a week and if you work they charge you 75% of what you make against your umemployment money. Also I think their are up to 33 weeks of extension available currently because of how bad it is.
