I was back-payed my remaining missing unemployment benefits. This included the extra $600 a week starting four weeks ago.

My HR person apparently spent an hour on the phone with unemployment to get it all sorted out (I could never get through, with about 100 calls, half a dozen messages, and a filing of a grievance). I will have to do something nice for her.

Yes. No money was very very bad.

Great! It’s great that your HR person was able to finally get some where with it but I wish that WA ESD wasn’t so incredibly broken.

Very happy you got the snafu resolved.

Really glad this worked out eventually. Regarding the HR person...if you know their address, the Drizly booze delivery app allows you to arrange a gift delivery. I’ve been sending care packages and birthday gifts and whatnot this way to friends, relatives, and colleagues all month.

Good for you! I posted "Im blessed" a few weeks ago thanks to my state having a robust UI system. Keeps roof overhead and bellies full, and nice to have addl kiddo time. Otherwise bored with yardwork and afraid to spend $ on my dream staycation projects!

Glad yours finally showed up. I *just today* got sent a letter on mine. Not money, but a letter telling me when to apply for money (if I even can given the fact that all the phone lines are slammed here).

I’m in the “your benefits were exhausted, so here’s some extra time” category and hadn’t heard anything for five weeks. Five friggin’ weeks without any clue on a timeline. I’m relieved they’re finally getting on with it, but I also have bills due and junk. Totally ridiculous.

They shouldn’t have squished the FT-1 proportions and design onto the mini roadster that is the BMupra. They don’t look good now.

Ice I missed about 4 weeks of work through this with no hope of unemployment because of the nature of my job.

Well I could get unemployment but I’m fairly certain it would only cover my hourly pay, which is less than 200 bucks a week, and 70% of that isn’t even worth the trouble.

On the flip side, due to some scheduling changes and delivery being busier, I’m making about 300 a week more now. So that’s cool

good to hear. Are they taking better percautions?

Yes — because they are legally and financially compelled to now. However, when I asked for gloves today, I was told to talk to so and so, who told me to talk to so and so, and after the third person, I just went home.

take it easy sir - maybe keep the red Supra for yourself and get your HR rep some nice flowers or something. Maybe keep your eyes open on Amazon - they have had masks and gloves off and on for a bit now and they aren’t too expensive.

That is the appropriate amount of fucks to give.
