allthumbs Posted September 7, 2003 Share Posted September 7, 2003 Oh well, I guess now you'll just have to settle for self-respect and a pay check. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catbirdseat Posted September 7, 2003 Author Share Posted September 7, 2003 Trask, as you know, self-respect is highly over-rated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratboy Posted September 7, 2003 Share Posted September 7, 2003 It's up to four weeks now? It was 3/week last year. Not that they ever asked me for my list. I lost track after I found a job, did they extend the length of benefits? It was 30 weeks when I was on it, plus I think a 12 week federal extension. I know people that have been unemployed for almost 2 years. Nice fucking economy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allthumbs Posted September 7, 2003 Share Posted September 7, 2003 Unemployed for two years. Sounds like they didn't want to work. But hey, what do I know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are job hunting or have stopped looking, now is the time to get serious and make some contacts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was fortunate enough to find a job after getting laid off, unlike many of the people that were laid off with me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was an economist last year who was predicting a 1930's style depression for this year. Perhaps it's a reality. We should call it the Bush Depression.
