So I got a call today that I wasn't supposed to get. Apparently my higher ups have put the word out that they are looking for someone to employ as an avid editor. Hey, wait, that's what I do. Apparently I have a pink slip in my near future and I'm not too terribly upset because the owner of this place is a dickhead, but damn they're being *******s about it. I'm not sure what I'm going to do - quit, ask them what the deal is, ride it out as long as I can and get my much needed paychecks as long as possible..... I just don't know yet. Wish me luck.

Good luck. May your life be free of *******s shortly.

Let them sack you... that way, you get unemployment until you find another job.... and the ******s have to pay it...LOL

qtr, maybe you (or someone else) knows more about unemployment. I thought you only got it if they "let you go" and not if you get fired. Is that not the case?

I'm thinking I'm going to ask the boss that I actually seem to get along with what the deal is. They don't know I know they're looking to replace me.

dude that really sucks man im sorry. i would start looking for another job right away while i kept working there. then you still have an income and the chance of getting unemployment. i think you get unemployment for getting canned or for getting "let go," because theyre essentially the same thing. i dont think the reason why you're fired has a bearing on it, but i could be wrong. i could always hook you up with a new and exciting career at domino's, just kidding. good luck man.

If you go to work when you're supposed to, there are very few reasons for them to avoid paying unemployment.

well I've got that covered, I've worked 2 years with no vacation and a couple sick days a year.
