    It probably reduces the chance of male workers telling them to fuck off. Or the higher ups hire those so they can sexually harass them

      Overruled.
      Sexism isn't gender-restricted, reducing either gender to a sex object is sexist behavior.

      You can't overrule me. You're accuser, not a judge.

      This is why I don't like to roleplay with you. 😣

          The only good thing about getting laid off is 1) you can at least collect unemployment 2) It's easier to get another job because you weren't simply fired

                    OBJECTION!

                    Men can be hot too.

                    Furthermore, I don't know if @[email protected] is a man or a woman neither do I know their sexual orientation.

                    So my comment was pervy, but not sexist. I deny the allegation!

                      Which turns out to be a ton more costly than just paying the employees raise.

                        Yeah you can. You forfeit UI if you quit voluntarily. You’d only lose it if you got fired for doing something illegal, I think

                          HR lady once spit a whole ass pack of lies about my work performance, and had cut off my email access so I couldn’t prove her wrong, which would have been trivially easy. Realized before I spoke up that if the HR director is lying this bad, there’s no reason to even try to ā€œproveā€ I’m right, just a really toxic company.

                              This is why I have so far refused to be a people manager. I'm not going to be able to emotionally handle laying someone off.

                              Same, I couldn't take it. It's hard to be in that position without feeling like a traitor.

                              Actually both times I got laid off my managers took the day off to hide while HR did their wetwork, only reaching out later to gush about how bad they felt.

                              Kind of cowardly tbh, but I get it—that's why we aren't managers.

                                  Can't they just file a police report suggesting you stole it? It's the government's job then and since the police barely have to investigate anything they are sure to actually do something. That's a quick way to get a search warrant filed.

                                  No, at least not in the US. It does not meet the legal definition of theft because (I believe) the property was initially acquired legally.

                                  Otherwise, the police would be doing repo for things like delinquent car loans, which is dystopian corporate hellscape stuff.

                                    Since its clear you are a bad worker leave off a few important task. They can chalk it up later to themselves as proof they made the right decision when those tasks fall through the cracks.

                                      A lay off is generally broad in scope. A department might get laid off.

                                      Firings are usually with cause and individual. You are fired for showing up late every day. You're laid off when they simply don't need you anymore.

                                      This varies from state to state across the US and probably only applies here, but if you're fired with cause, you generally don't get unemployment benefits. If you're laid off you might get a severance on top of unemployment.

                                      Particularly shitty companies will always fire as many people as they can prior to a lay off. A big part of HR's job at these organizations is making sure they have a case to fire as many people as possible at any given time. If you've ever worked in any call center in the US, you've been subjected to this, knowingly or not. They'll document a handful of even the slightest grievances and make sure they have two in the chamber at any given time for any given employee, so if it looks like they need to get rid of a lot of people in the near future they'll start digging for a third infraction.

                                        I got laid off about five and a half years ago, at the start of Covid. The meeting was with my manager and his boss (who I was also friendly with). I got a meeting invite and asked if we could push it back an hour so I could drive my wife to work, they said sure. I told my wife on the drive that I was getting laid off. Sure enough, I was. They paid me five weeks severance and gave me resources to file for unemployment. It was due to Covid causing a huge drop in money coming in, which was understandable. Honestly, I didn't like my job, I had already hired a company to rewrite my resumƩ. So it worked out. At least my boss and his boss had the spine to do it personally. I'll always give them credit for that.

                                          If you don't have anybody, it will be hard to be a neet. They are usually maintained by someone else (mostly parents)
