Given a choice… Move to Cleveland, or be let go… (or find a new job)… does that count?
that was from ITT Enivate in OP… (Trueblue - how’s it going there???)
I found another better position at a better company (Ethox International)

I wasn’t actually laid off, my business has just slowed down over 60%. Some of the owners I was contracted by decided I wasn’t in their budget anymore =/
Now I sell Lotus’s a few days a week to supplement.

You dont know what you’re talking about. It is payed for by the employer not the govnment. It is a mandated insurance charged by the state. It is NOT a social service. It is payed for BY the employer and is figured into the overhead of said employer just like social security and disability insurance. NOT ONE CENT IS USED FROM ANY FORM OF WELFARE OR SOCIAL SERVICE!

hp pays my salary and they are looking at the economic downturn as a time to step up marketing efforts in order to outlast competition. I dont think im going anywhere.

No lay offs here. Business is slowed down a bit near the year end but still good and companies still buying. Got my bonus and raise this December. We actually hired 20 people total I think since I started a year ago and only was a 100 person company.

I always wondered if this was really true… it doesn’t add up that you’re not getting more money back than your company put in… so where is the rest coming from?

It seems to be impossible to file a claim for unemployment for me. I have filled out the online form 4 fucking times with FireFox and IE. After I completed the 10 or so pages it gave me and error. So I decided to call, I say through 20 minutes of automated bullshit and then got disconnected before I finished.
Anyone else having trouble?
