At least in my state, if your employment is terminated for poor performance, the employer can deny unemployment insurance claims. If you’re just laid off, they must pay out unemployment insurance claims.
By blaming the victim, the company saves money. It’s such scumbaggery.
Which in itself is a total bullshit rule. What, so people who are bad at a certain job don't deserve help while they find a job they're better at?
There's a lot of good evidence that helping people is pretty un-American.
That's one of the reasons why companies will put on a PIP(performance improvement plan) if they want to fire you. They try to get you to sign something saying you understand and acknowledge that your performance needs to improve.They need to have some sort of paper trail in order for them to be able to deny the unemployment claim. A company can't just say "oh yeah that guy sucked" unless there was a substantial, documented issue like you getting into a physical confrontation with someone
Actually making good on insurance claims would defeat the point of insurance, which is to make money off of people in need, i.e. those who can't afford the financial burdens that insurance purports to protect you from.
Don't you need to be working somewhere for 6 months to get unemployment? She's been there for 4
Seems like it would also have the effect of making the employee less appealing to any potential future employers. When asked in an interview why they left their previous job, these people have to decide whether to say honestly that they were let go because of mismanagement and risk their possible new job on whether the background check includes a call to the HR department of your last employer, or give the line that would match the HR record and say they were fired for poor performance. Either way is going to make it pretty hard to get hired, and so if Cloudflare ever needs to hire again in the future, there's a decent chance these people will still be seeking employment.
I worked at Teledyne and got laid off. The official policy was that they wouldn't give anyone a reference good or bad just confirm that the person worked there. Shit people making shit products. They threatened to not give me any severance unless I agreed to never badmouth the Teledyne corporation on the internet. I took the money.
The professional workaround is 'are they eligible for rehire'. If you're laid off it's a yes, if not it's a no.
"I took the money."
Uh oh, now you're going to have to give it back for spilling the tea!
I will get right on that. Maybe I will show up to my ex-manager's manager house and discuss the matter with him. You know on a rainy night near midnight. Is that the proper way to do this?
