Gotta get creative with your layoffs when you already did massive layoffs but still need to please wall street.

Disciplining labor publicly so they don't get any ideas about comfort in their collective power... You just gotta love it - OR WE'LL FUCKING FIRE YOU!

Being fired means 6 months of unemployment. Fuck meta. Time for a vacation.

[-] shalafi@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

I'm getting unemployment right now. It's 1/6th of my former pay, zero benefits. Oh, and the max benefit is a total of 2 weeks of former pay.

I got 1100/week, for up to 6 months 🤷

If they were fired for cause such mis using company funds... No UI

They can argue against the employer’s claim and prove they weren’t fired for cause. My former employer lied to unemployment and and it worked in my favor. Either way they can appeal a decision and should start consulting attorneys immediately.

Only if they fight it. Which they probably won’t.
