My unemployment took so loving long to get approved that I ended up just cancelling my application anyway. Somehow I ended up getting $60 sent to me, which I had to pay back as part of my taxes; this was the very end of 2019.
Well, that's my Canadian dole story. I also stole my office chair, my computer monitors, and about 5 years worth of paper. In retrospect I could have gotten away with so much more.

In movies people who get fired get to carry their personal belongings in a cardboard box.

Well I got a see-through plastic bag for my coffee mug and emergency underpants and it was super embarrassing.

I was dismissed from my position on Tuesday because I left a room when a manager wanted to talk to me but didn't say so. I'd been there for 5 years.

I'm not sure what I'm going to do now.

I have a friend that works for metro in a large city and they were necessary employees the whole time (several died of Covid) and now the city is laying off like 200 of them effective right after the July benefits end.

Laid off!? Is this because I told everyone in the "I hate printers" thread that I hate-hosed the office printer?
Because if so, let me tell you something: I totally hate-hosed the office printer.
