14 Month of Being Unemployed is About To End.

I got a call from a company this morning I interviewed with two weeks ago and they said Your Hired.

The pay is better than my unemployment benefits and figuring in the local economy the pay will be very close to my last job. They have already tapped me for a promotion in a few months which will then exceed what my last job paid.

I will have to relocate. The only disappointment is, is that I will have to give up my delegate status to the state democratic convention and positions on a local campaign and my community activism group. I hope I can find my way in to local politics at my new home.

Time to buy some new shirts and pants.

Man, wait till they find out what a worthless turd you are. You'll be TwixVoy'd in no time. Say, did you get your wife a job there, too?

Funny, I don't remember reading posts with titles like '14 Month of Being Unemployed is About To End.' during the BOOOSH years.

That's because they purposely stayed unemployed so they could claim it was Bush that was keeping them that way.

He got that job on the strength of a killer cover letter.

How bad do you think the spelling was on that cover letter?

Someone here may have the one he wrote for his wife. It was an immediate DUmp classic.

Ah, thanks. Through the magic of Google (I guess nads is in bed, since I was able to get on a server), I found the thread:

The cover letter story was hilarious!!! Rsmith needs to get to work and craft some bouncies. It's been a long time. Maybe there's a bunch of repiglicans at his new job. That way, maybe we can have a Walldude/Bouncy double-header.

I wonder what he would have said if the pay had been worse than his UE bennies.

No I don't. I know exactly what he would have said: "I can't live on that. Why can't I get a living wage?"

Chris_ · « **Reply #10 on:** May 30, 2012, 08:18:34 AM »

From my experience, UE benefits are about minimum wage ($7/hr or whatever it is). I'd rather work... I can earn more than that doing next to nothing.

Karin · « **Reply #11 on:** May 30, 2012, 08:49:06 AM »

That's right, it's about $300. Divided by 40 hours, that's $7.50. These people bleating for these paltry benefits, I don't get. Just take a job, any job. Then you won't have those suspicious-looking resume gaps (which I think are a REAL problem). You have more self-respect, and you're "out there," not sitting on a couch, wallowing in depression and self-pity.

Chris_ · « **Reply #12 on:** May 30, 2012, 08:57:40 AM »

I can't imagine being out of work for over a year. What was he doing the entire time?

ZERO BONG!

PLUS it's easier to get a job if you are in fact employed. Employers don't want someone's castoff that can't get hired. They want a proven product and that is one that is currently employed by ANYONE.

A promotion before being hired? I smell a future bouncy about the evil rethug keeping him down and not promoting him to CFO after a few months of being exposed to his brilliance .

Maybe it's figured differently in different states (And sure as Hell is managed differently in different states), but my second-hand experience with it as a collateral issue in hearings has been that it's proportional to what you were earning in the job you left, at least where I was at the time.

Yes, that is the general rule but I've never gotten more than $300/week at any time I've used it.

After 14 months of being a leech, I would accept less than UI to work. By the way, today minus 14 months is greater than January 2009, so I wonder when this asshole will blame 0bama for being unemployed in the first place.

My father used to tell the salesmen under him, "It's a lot easier to get a job when you already have one." When I spent those two stints last year wondering if I was going to be laid off by Dandy Andy, he told me that. I was ready to take a job at McDonald's if I had to (my daughter would have loved that!).
