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.

      I’m expecting a breakout season from Ja'tavion Sanders

      I thought he had a few really nice flashes.  I can see him showing out this year

      Morgan & Canales

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I have heard that before--when standing in front of a full body mirror at Old Navy.  I said it, actually. Seriously, Let's go on what we know. There is reason for optimism that exceeds random opinions and negativity: 1. Last year, the offense was the priority and the interior offensive line was the focal point. Morgan addressed it in free agency and the draft. They improved.  2.  Last year, Canales pulled Young after 2 games and replaced him with an established veteran.  Instead of giving up on Young, he developed him, primarily focusing on his footwork and timing.  Continued development in his fundamentals should result in improved play.  (this is significant because some athletes rely on natural ability and do not adapt well.  They resort to old habits. This means that Bryce is "teachable" and is willing to face adversity and fight through it.  That is what you want in a QB.) 3. Morgan drafted a raw talent at WR; and we all knew he was raw.  Huddlers are already calling it a bust, but his productivity numbers were in line with the other WRs drafted around where he was drafted.  So, yes, he was a bit disappointing, but what part of "Raw" is not understood here?  Evil Bryce, then inconsistent Dalton, then good Bryce--all while facing the top defensive backs--and let's not forget about his lingering injuries--and we should understand XL's productivity.  Morgan was looking for a home run based on XL's 1-season productivity and his freakish athleticism, but I always thought we would not know what we have until year 2.  TMac alone will make XL better--a solid #2. 4.  If you blame Morgan for drafting XL, you must give him credit for making Coker a priority free agent.  In my view, he addressed WR in 2024 pretty effectively in the long view.  5.  Let's look at the rest of the draft.  Brooks?  The best RB in the draft in round 2?  Morgan was attempting to build a solid run game behind Bryce.  Wallace was a very solid third round pick at LB. Sanders is a strong TE for a fourth round pick. 6.  Not much is being said about the development of Chau Smith-Wade.  His improvement mirrors Bryce Young's, actually.  In his first 8 games, his PFF rating was 36.5.  In the final 9 games, his PFF rating was 66.7.   7.  With so many needs, Morgan hit the UDFA market with success. In addition to Coker, Demani Richardson got 400+ snaps and had a 60.1 PFF grade, including an interception. 8.  In free agency, Morgan spent big bucks on Guards, a move that made his QB better. He added David Moore, Nijman,  He signed Clowney, Wonnum, Robinson, Jewel, Chaisson, Fuller, Scott, D. Jackson, Dionte Johnson, etc.  A few years of Fitterer left him with more holes that players.  Some did not work out, but he did all this on a budget (after he splurged on Lewis and Hunt).  It is hard to get a free agent to come to a team that loses--so in some cases, Morgan had to overpay or accept questionable players. Morgan's first year as a GM demonstrated an understanding of the game like we have not seen since Polian, before his lost it. Canales, on the other hand, should be rated by the improvement of players.  Zavala, Ekwonu, Mays, Young, Smith-Wade, Coker, Wallace--all improved.  He had to overcome major losses such as D. Brown, Shaq, Dionte Johnson, Corbett--and we saw growth.  Despite all this team went through, after 8 games of disarray, This team finished 4-5 with close losses to both Super Bowl teams.  Frankly, I do not know how he did it. This year was better.  The WR room is solid with depth.  The OL room is solid with depth.  The TE room is as good as it has been in a while.  The RB room has the potential to be as good as it was when we had 28 and 34.  DBs?  Better.  DL?  Better.  Edge?  better.  The bottom of the roster?  Much better. We really don't know what we have yet, and that makes this offseason exciting.
