BGBMAW - dont let the little people and their snappy remarks bother you.

If you want to get fired, the best way is to do your own thing - be yourself - have fun - stop playing by "office rules" etc etc - browse the AH BBS all day - that sort of stuff.

If this type of "I dont give a toejam" behavior doesnt get you fired, it will get you promoted.

Unemployemnt is an insurance policy and you don't pay into it at all, your employer does.

Not really, your employer is required to pay the unemployment insurance premium on your behalf, which means it is priced into your salary/compensation. If it were optional and he chose to pay it, then it would be a benefit, but since it's mandatory, you are really the one paying it. Same with 'employer matching' social security contributions. IMHO such arrangements should be against the law.

I love my job, but I work for a bunch of idiots! Our managers are so FU it is truely amazing they can but their pants on. A bunch of spineless "yesmen".

What is worse is that they pick others for management training just as bad or worse than they are. So the cycle never ends.

I cannot understand how corporate American suceeds at all!

I guess its a matter of opinion on this one, but my take on it is that since it is paid from money beyond what you make as a salary (or hourly), then it is your employer paying it. (i.e.- none of your listed salary is deducted for this insurance.)

PS- I found if you blatantly look for other jobs, you stand a good chance of being fired.

Question to ask is how does your company handle corrective actions?
Are you salaried or paid hourly?
If they document everything and give you the opportunity to correct the action before firing you, you won't win your unemployment hearing. California State Labor laws are very employee supportive. If you're paid by an hourly rate that is, if salaried, forget it.
You will not be able to collect unemployment if the company can prove gross misconduct or gross negligence.
If the company cannot support its charges without a paper trail, you have a good chance of winning your case.
Before you decide to try to get yourself fired, give yourself a cooling off period first. Sometimes the bonus figures are based on projected sales and company stock values. If your bonus is based on those figures and the projections weren't met, that might be a reason for the smaller bonus.
Also, what would you rather be doing for a living other than your present job?
Re-evaluate your present job and try to list the good things and benefits to you.
Then make a list of the negative things.
Then make your decision.
Good luck to you whatever you decide.

unemployment is not a hand out. yes your employer pays in not you. but it all figures into how much it costs him to hire you, if he didn't pay in then a greater chunk of that cost could go to you. so in effect you are paying it. it's not welfare it's insurance. thats why they call it unemployment insurance. collecting your payment due you is no more charity than using the health insurance your employer pays for bassed on your employment.

that said, fabricating a situation so you can quit or get fired, just to draw your unemployment instead of working is alot like burning down your bussiness to collect the insurance.

I ended my carreer with the government 23 years ago for artfully arranging for the apperance of a fresh dog turd pile (complete with one of those groovy lil chineese miniature rum punch umbrellas) precisely in the middle of my bosses desk.

Now mind you, nobody saw me do it, and I was never accused of it. Formally. But I was happily unemployed the very next day, with all benefits.

the captian is correct.
unemployment $ is not paid from your taxes.
employer's tax rates increase if the put someone on unemployment (anyone know what happens if unemployment is due to employer going out of business?)...of course this eventually translates to higher prices for the consumer & i'm sure enough of $$$ is skimmed off the top for the gov't to hire a few burecrats to kiss the bellybutton of some political appointee

-----------------------
you get your benifits, and if you work for a big enough company that the media notices when it goes out of business you sometimes get extra benifits (extentions when most aren't getting them, retraining paid for, benifits continued while you are retraining, ect)

Freeloader. Get a new job or fix the old one so it's bearable.

I'm a freeloader too.

We all are.

We're all miserabe little sinners who do not deserve anything.

So give us money.

Tell your employer you are gay, and would like to wear a leather mini-skirt from now on - except on fridays when you would abide by the relaxed dress code and put on a pair of cheek-less chaps.

That would either

a) Get you fired

b) Make you very popular

Either way, you can expect more money, through the lucrative resolution of a wrongful dismissal action or through payment for sexual favours.

Does your course have one of those "Windmill holes" on it also?

I love those holes. They are hard.
