Got Fired

[Jack_Dawson]

Should I sign the "Severance and Release Agreement" where we agree to not talk shit about each other? Severance is good through 2012 w/ medical. Was totally thrown under a bus but that's beside the point from a legal standpoint.

2. Take as much time as you can to think it over, don't jump to a decision.

And don't take internet advice. Laws vary by state, remember that.

Good luck!

3. Good through 2012? 1+ month?

4. How is Powell doing vs. Cantor in the polls? Signed, California

[elleng]

8. Powell campaign not spending funds on polling

but Culpeper County Democrats canvassing results

from Wayne Powell's campaign: twice as many respondents say they are voting for Powell as for Cantor. If that translates to actual votes, we'll have a winning candidate! The sample includes moderate voters from both parties plus independents. There are many more strong Republicans in our district, though, so we have a lot more work to do to get Wayne elected. Keep up the good work this weekend and until November 6!

Sounds good to me! (Just one county, but major.)
Thanks for asking!

5. Unemployment?

If you sign, will they agree not to contest your unemployment insurance benefit application?

6. I'm sorry to hear this. To my understanding, you should make sure that you DON'T agree with the

notion that you left voluntarily and/or as a result of misconduct as it could interfere with an unemployment claim?

Best of luck to you.

7. Do you think it's likely someone who's thrown you under the bus would honor such an agreement? n/t

9. Depends. What kind of shit did you do that they could talk about?

[Jack_Dawson]

10. I called someone out trying to overcharge our company.

a.k.a. "blown deal"

11. Golf buddies with the boss?

12. Your medical is probably already paid for that month anyway.. There's only 1 month left

Check on the unemployment insurance before you sign anything.. and get what THEY tell you..IN WRITING..

Just make yourself "unavailable" to your former boss..screen calls..tell them you are going out of town..whatever.. just don't sign anything until you know you are not signing away benefits due you..

13. Did your boss find out how you're voting?

Apparently that's a new fad among assholes.

PS, sympathies for the bad news. Don't forget to file for unemployment asap. It takes forever for it to kick in, according to my friend who keeps getting fired (and somehow surviving).
