I just got blindsided folks. Manager and some HR lady pull me into a chat room and inform me they are letting me going due to company restructuring :-) I didn't see this coming at all I'm devastated and don't know what the fuck to do. [Reply]

It's not that confusing. Since he lived in MO, that's where he worked as he paid MO taxes and they paid in unemployment ins to MO. [Reply]

You'd think, but read people asking about this exact scenario and some of them ended up filing in the state the company was based. It's pretty much dependant on whether the company payroll/HR actually took the time to establish where the employee lives or not. [Reply]
There's also no harm in trying Massachusetts first. Worst thing that'll.happen is they'll redirect him to Missouri if need be. The max benefit is 1015 compared to 320. [Reply]

I should probably just shut up and log off but **** it feels good to vent my family is worried about me which sucks on top of the job stuff but it will all workout.
I feel bad for those who have a family and kids who go through this shit.
When you have wife and kids, your stress level peaks....I have been a part of "restructuring" (gotta love how we sugar coat what it really is) when my kids were younger. No pressure is greater than knowing that you need to get back out there and get a job to support your family. And you have to try and hide your insecurities because you don't want your kids to see you worrying because they will pick up on it and worry too.
Oddly enough I found myself being possessed with finding the next job...and my work skills, ability to relate and desire in selling myself to potential employers always paid off.
Always show confidence, but never be brash
Acknowledge your areas of opportunities and your desire to improve
When you are getting ready to interview for a new company, always spend time learning about who they are, what they do, and how your skillset translates
And lastly.....even if you do not get the position, thank them for the opportunity to interview. You never know when something may come up that the HR or Hiring Manager may have that might make them remember you later. (I have gotten a couple of jobs that way) [Reply]

I am the corporate Senior Credit Manager....have been doing the same thing for 45+ years now....people ask me how I can enjoy doing my job making business credit decisions and asking companies to pay the invoices.
I have always loved this work....never wanted to do anything else. [Reply]
Kick open the door in your first interview, get 2 inches away from your potential boss's face and scream "I'm here to give fellatio and make you money" while bursting his/her eardrums and leaving speckles of saliva on their face.
You'll find out if you fit in and have a future with the company immediately.

They would be breaking the law in that scenario which would be........on point for HR. [Reply]
Sorry to hear but you'll land on your feet. As tempting as it may be to go off on anybody, I'd take the high road because you never know when professional paths cross again and someday you may be glad you left on a high note. Good luck...... [Reply]
