Update on the offer letter

Well, talked to my buddy and he said they are just waiting on final approval from their mgr to send and to keep in mind I have to pass a background check(a dig on my past).

So here is my new dilemma on this. I took the last 2 days off to buy some time. I'm 95% certain I'm going to be let go any moment.

Part of me wants to go ahead and give the 2 wk notice because I'm 90% certain the letter goes out this week.

That's a calculated gamble.

I prefer that on my record than being let go.

The plus of being let go is however, I would get a very minmal severance pkg. Real bare bones and be eligible for unemployment.

This would be even more of me swallowing some pride but should I just let them cut me loose and if the offer comes in then that's bonus money?

Or, give the 2wks with the letter pending? From a mental health standpoint I flat out need to leave my job. They have killed me 9 straight months.

Never easy is it. Sorry cwg, only a couple more work related posts from me I promise.

I would wait until I got the 2nd job before moving on. You don't want to gamble with the food on your table. If you get "let go" before you get the 2nd job, then you get to bring in some unemployment as well. I know your current job sucks, but the reason why they have been riding your ass for the past few months is because they are trying to make you quit so they don't need to pay you.

razzy i agree but here is the good part. if i leave, i get my pension money now. that is THE only reason i didn't.

im also thinking this, give the 2 wks and if worse case wells pulls back thats cool. i will hustle to find something else but now my wife is working full time and thers a cushion there.

im in cwg's and happys camp on this. i can find folks that will give me a good recom and yeah, they have treated me like crap for a long long time. i have nothing of value except a paycheck from them right now. they have used me and quite frankly, they are on thin ice themselves.

Time to move on.

I'm pretty sure even if you quit that you can still receive unemployment. There is a small waiting period.

Your employer may try to fight it, if so there is a quasi phone adjudication ruling type thing where you just present facts and state you were harassed until you couldn't take it more. Win that your golden.......

If you are fired you will not get unemployment if your employer can show cause..... a problem with your performance, violation of policy, etc. You would have to go through hearings...and the ESC would have to find in your favor.

You definitely do not get it if you quit.

You can not be denined unemployment due to performance. About the only way to be denined is by not showing up to work.

When using an employer as a reference, the only comment, by law, they are allowed to disclose is:

Q: "Is he eligible for rehire?"

A: "Yes" or "No"

Former employers are not allowed to openly discuss the reasons for your departure or firing, it is a violation of labor laws.

You can list specific people you worked with as professional references, but in most cases these days, prospective employers ask you if they have your permission to speak with your former employer. You do not have to grant it, however, look forward to questions from your new employer in that regard.

      Are the Panthers a "Trap Game" for the Hawks?

      By MHS831 · Posted

      The Seahawks won an emotional, divisional, overtime rivalry game vs the Rams on a Thursday night (Dec 18).  That gives them 10 days to prepare for the Panthers, but the Christmas holiday fell a week later--I bet they were afforded an extra day for travel-many coming back east.  Following the Panthers, Seattle plays at San Francisco for the division title (in all probability).   The Rams finish the season with games against the Falcons and Cardinals, two likely wins, pushing them to 13-4.  The Niners finish the season with home games against the Bears and Seahawks. Seattle finishes the season with the Panthers on the road and SF in California.   It is easy to see how preparing for the Panthers, during the holiday break and with the Niners waiting for them in SF a week later for (what could be) the NFC West title and #1 Seed in the NFC, could create the perfect trap game scenario.  The Panthers at home are 5-2.   In the past 2 weeks, the Seahawks struggled to beat the Phillip Rivers Colts in Seattle and then pulled off a miraculous, emotional victory at home vs. the Rams.  I am not convinced that they are as good as advertised. Seattle is a TD favorite in Charlotte.  I feel that Carolina by 3 may be more accurate.  While I am still not confident in this team's consistency and it never seems to dominate, it sure feels like a trap game for Seattle to me.  How could they NOT be thinking of San Francisco right now?  They are not used to being in this position (current players) and it is human nature.  Carolina 27, Seattle 24.

      Robert Hunt Practice Window Activated

      By MHS831 · Posted

      It is a tough decision.  There is another factor.  Is he in game shape?  A tired Hunt is not better than an "in-shape" Corbett.  When coming off an injury, it is natural to want to protect the injured area, even if it is completely healed.  This can cause you to contort your body for no reason, lose fundamentals, and it could lead to other injuries.  For example, I had a knee in high school that required getting taped.  That made me aware of the knee (not used to tape on my knee) and I pulled my groin (favoring or dragging the leg with the tape).  The trainer explained the groin injury the way I do here--but scared money makes no money.  If he is cleared to play, he is cleared to play.  Watch him, rotate him in for a series, etc.  Specifically, I would want to watch the matchup--who is winning more--Corbett or Hunt?  How is the defense reacting (if at all) to Hunt being in?  Etc.

      Chad ‘Ochstradamus’ Johnson and Shannon Sharpe on Panthers

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Shannon was sued for $50 million (settled out of court, I believe) for forcing sex on his girlfriend during a two-year relationship.  He denies it, but ESPN let him go last April.  Chad Johnson's wife filed a police report because he head-butted her in a car and was put on probation. I had to google it.  I watched the Ray Rice video and when you see it, you realize just how vile and cowardly abusing a woman really is.  But for the same point Aussie tried to make, these women are defenseless, and being phyiscally bigger and stronger does not validate your actions.   I can't even stand to watch Steve Smith.  I can't normalize this kind of behavior--again, I do not think R-P had that in mind when he posted this.  When the reason was exposed, we should realize that we are talking life (quality of) and death (in some cases) here.
