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.

      Hoping you guys keep it up

      By X-Clown · Posted

      It’s wild to me that so many of you guys are threatened by the idea of an opposing team fan who is polite in 2025. He’s been posting here on and off for years, usually when our teams play each other which hasn’t been for a while. I’d maybe understand this treatment if it was a falcons or saints fan, but packers fans in general are one of the nicer fan bases as long as you aren’t another NFC north team (especially the bears).

      Some players excel on the big stage, while others freeze and succumb to the pressure. I’m not convinced Cam took a dive. I think he didn’t handle the stage very well. The pressure got to him and he folded. He wouldn’t be the first quarterback or player to struggle in a Super Bowl. Two HOF examples - John Elway and Jim Kelly. The 2002 MVP, Rich Gannon, threw 5 interceptions against the Bucs. Poor performances happen.  Unless of course you believe all these players threw the games they played in, but if that occurred, surely someone by now would have admitted taking a dive? 🤷‍♂️

      Cam on ‘The Bank’

      It was always a matter of time with Cam’s playing style and a shorter shelf life than passers that protect themselves. I suppose Cam could have still been playing in 2028 ten years after the hit took place, but he would need to have evolved as a quarterback and become more of a passer than the dual threat maestro he was. It’s sad because it makes us think of what could have been, but I do feel it was always a matter of time until all the hits took their toll.
