just gonna put that there at the top of the list of the reasons I say shit like "I hate needless dumb fucking bureaucracy" and if we ever, god fucking willing, please, jesus fucking christ, get to see the day we get to see Cultural Revolution style public accusations, trials and punishments for the bourgeoisie, I am absolutely going to put whoever made this happen at the top of the list

how fucking hard would it have been to have an exemption for employees with seasonal disruptions? oh wait the point is to make people not get UI payments. face the wall

I was on Unemployment during Covid. Just identify 7-10 potential employers in your field, and write down three on your weekly report, and cycle through them. I personally knew all of my "potential employers," and not one of them received a call to check. It's a five minute inconvenience every week, to get the money.
