That HR lady is totally breedable.

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!
You can be sexist to both women and men.

The two or three juniors they'll eventually have to hire to do the job
Which turns out to be a ton more costly than just paying the employees raise.

You can't collect unemployment if you get fired.
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 “prove” I’m right, just a really toxic company.

Nice. Equality at last.

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.

That's my understanding too.

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.

What's the difference between being laid off and being fired?
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 resumé. 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.

Ready to be laid off, i can feel it coming considering the economy feels like its on stilts and my company scrapping the bottom of the barrel for projects to work on.
I don't own anything and don't have anybody.
Prepared for my NEET life.
If you don't have anybody, it will be hard to be a neet. They are usually maintained by someone else (mostly parents)

Depends on the state but basically they have to prove it was for cause. You being late nonstop and being fired? No UE. You getting fired for "no call no show" when you ha e the phone records to prove you called in and you have no disciplinary record? You'll get UE.
I got "fired" once in my life right before a big round of layoffs for the above reason. This was in TX so my UE got denied right out of the gate but when I appealed the company didn't even bother showing up.
It was a pretty slam dunk case of them reaching and pulling shit out of their ass so I won the appeal.
Always appeal, especially in republican states where they default to siding with the companies.

Lay offs aren't related to your behaviour. Just that they cannot afford to keep you.

Hope you will find a new job soon, It really sucks to find a job in these times

Never bought a Mac before, but what the hell are the specs in a $7k Macbook? I didn't think they went over $3k.
Probably equivalent to about a $2k PC.

You can't collect unemployment if you get fired.
The specifics will vary by jurisdiction. The state I live in, you can collect unemployment if fired but it has to be determined that you were not fired for noncompliance with workplace policies or illegal actions. For example if you stole from the cash register and got caught and fired you would not be able to collect unemployment. But if you were fired for poor performance you can receive unemployment
I learned this after a recent workplace decided to make up performance reasons to fire me. The state opened an investigation to determine if unemployment benefits should be paid out, which involved asking both myself and the previous employer about the stated reasons for the discharge, if any written or verbal warnings were given, etc. Hilariously my old employer dropped the entire line of reasoning and just said "it didn't work out" when the investigator for the state spoke with them. I also then learned that the maximum unemployment benefit in my state is only $1200/month which won't cover most folks rents so that's practically useless!

the insulting thing out of it is I paid for his beers! he KNEW I was getting laid off and didn't say "hey...maybe I should be paying for these" nope, gladly accepted my money. He tried to contact me after the fact and I just blocked him.
Some people dont have the guts for it.
