Gotta get creative with your layoffs when you already did massive layoffs but still need to please wall street.

If they were fired for cause such mis using company funds... No UI

They can argue against the employer’s claim and prove they weren’t fired for cause. My former employer lied to unemployment and and it worked in my favor. Either way they can appeal a decision and should start consulting attorneys immediately.

Only if they fight it. Which they probably won’t.

If they documented the firing properly, they will send it to UI office. Everytime.

If this was not a firing but just, you did this and we are dismisisng you. Then yes they won't bother.

Based on how this went down, looks like meta would be documenting it. Otherwise there wouldn't be a headline
