Re: unemployment appeal any one
The place where I work has turnover like you wouldn't believe. They fire at least 2-3 people every week. A lot of people just can't do it, and the others get fired because there is a team of managers that have a hard on for their power trip, and fire folks for next to no reason. In Kansas the company can fight the unemployment, however the office knows the company by heart, and they let them fight it for a week or two, and then start making them pay. I've heard that the longest they can fight it is 2 months, and then they have to pay, including back pay, however most folks can't last 2 months. We had a guy not too long ago that verbally assaulted most of the managment team when they kept threatening him with this and that, then after they fired him, they wouldn't let him leave the room with his work badge. The guy that was blocking his way was thrown across the room into, and partially through a wall. They let him leave with his badge. He, even though he assaulted a manager still got his unemployment, and the company wasn't allowed to fight it. His reason, "hostile workplace".
From what I have found out, in Kansas, Hostile workplace is the golden ticket of unemployment. Get a manager to raise his voice, and you have a golden ticket for unemployment.
I would like to leave the company and find another job, however I just can't seem to bring myself to be that significant of a turd to get fired, and the whole management team (except for the POS op manager) likes me. They also pay too much to just leave, finding another job that pays as much around here is VERY difficult.
