Anyone know anything about unemployment?

I know they are not voting in extensions right now, but my question is, is this for added extensions, or any extensions?

I'm only on my 1st extension, and I know there's a few more, but my question is, does this mean I'm not eligible for another or there isn't any more past a certain point?

Appreciate all help.

You seem to be one of the few.

I "think" I found information, basically saying I'm screwed till the politicians agree. Apparently democrats may use the "extending Bush's tax cuts" as a bargaining chip.

Of course I'm sure they are all on vacation for weeks right now anyway.

wife has been out of work since Aug 09. i dont think the extension passed. you can view that two ways. that its horrific and there will be chaos OR, word is going around that folks are now ready to hire.

wife had an interview a couple of days ago and it looks good.

the challenge we faced was she would get offers but for part time. so it never would cover the UE we were getting. Financially it made no sense to take PT work.

thats a trap many are in right now. not the stupid notion they dont want to work, although im sure are milking the system.

I had an interview today, the 2nd one with these guys, but taking this job would almost make me have to change everything in my life, it doesn't feel worth it. Before the first interview I told them my range, and then after the 2nd interview the offer like 5k less than my minimum on my range. Not to mention they want the first 90 days to be 1099 and if they decide to just let me go, I won't get unemployment. Just don't have a good feeling about it.

One problem with 1099 is you get paid when they feel like paying the bills. A lot of companies do pay their bills on time, but I was 1099 in 2002 and the cheap ass company I was working for would pay their bills like 90 days behind, so I had to go nearly 90 days before I got my first check after theatening to stop helping the deployment. If you do have to 1099, they need to be paying you a lot more per hour to cover the loss of benefits and such. IMO, they should pay you at least 20% more on 1099 then they would pay you as full time.

Yeah, and they aren't (paying more).

I'm leaning toward no on this, even though I need a job, I think this would set a bad "personal" precedent in my life.

My wife said pass, and my close friend who's also in the field said to pass too.

I'm back to square one now, oh well.

      Bryce Young is a problem — what would you do if you were Dan Morgan?

      By mav1234 · Posted

      CJ Stroud also had one of the best rookie years of all time, and yes he had a downward trend last year that should be concerning but isn't cause for benching. BY had a decent stretch of games and then poo the bed. That's it.

      Interestingly very few have proposed a solution - they've just reiterated that the current Front Office won't do anything (which I agree with). Here's my answer:   Identifying the Problem It’s becoming increasingly clear to most Panthers fans: Bryce Young is holding this team back. In a quarterback-driven league, we’re stuck with one who not only limits the playbook due to his physical constraints, but also stunts the offense with his inability to process and execute routine plays. This isn’t a bare-bones roster anymore. The front office has invested heavily in the offense: Offensive Line: One recent first-round pick and roughly 33% of our total Salary Cap Wide Receivers: Two recent first-round picks Running Backs: One recent second-rounder, one recent fourth-rounder, plus Hubbard and Dowdle And let’s not forget the two first-round picks (and D.J. Moore) spent to acquire Young himself.   The Solution We need to be proactive and move on from Bryce Young - immediately. Continuing to start him means writing off the season, which neither the GM, coaching staff, nor fans can afford. There’s simply too much invested in this offense to let it flounder under a quarterback who isn’t elevating the unit. I’d explore cost-effective trade options for backup QBs around the league to staunch the bleeding. Dalton and Hooker aren’t viable starters. I'd re-evaluate in the offseason to see where we stand - and consider the Draft and Free Agency if the need arises.    Identifying Value Take Sam Howell, for example. The Vikings traded him and a 2026 sixth-round pick to the Eagles for a 2026 fifth and a 2027 seventh. That’s a low-risk deal for a QB who threw for 3,946 yards, 23 TDs, and 23 INTs in his lone starting season.   Potential Targets Tier 1 – Younger QBs with upside Tanner McKee Malik Willis Anthony Richardson* Trey Lance Tier 2 – Veteran or stopgap options Gardner Minshew Mac Jones Aidan O’Connell Davis Mills   What to Do with Young Ideally, I’d include Young in a trade package if possible. If not, I’m fine with sitting him until the offseason and then exploring trade or cut options. His value is low now, but continuing to start him only makes it worse.   This team deserves better than what we’ve seen so far. The pieces are in place—we just need a quarterback who gives them a fair chance to compete.

      Stroud has a wee bit more success than Bryce. Bryce looking bad is the norm, not the anomaly. He's not able to execute the most basic decision making during plays, especially when he was touted as this master processor. Its year 3 and he looked like a rookie in preseason. The play calling is blah but I'm not so sure its not because of Bryce being unable to do more.
