Is it a coincidence that the unemployment page is down?

[dowmace]

Well I officially have no job, I will not be recieving any more paychecks from my previous employer. I attempted to apply for unemployment. (since we have the great hand out giver in office I might as well join the club) And to my surprise I was not able to complete my application for unemployment because the server was/is overloaded.


If anyone needs some labor I have plenty of time to work. I've got a one ton diesel truck to haul stuff and tools to build/maintain anything.

Sorry to hear you're having such a bad time so close to Christmas. I hope it turns around for you.

Sorry to hear. Did this literally happen today, right after the election?

I have 2 very real employment opportunities right now but they both have me starting in two weeks, I just need money to cover the bills until then. I just wish my previous employer hadn't intentionally blind sided me this way.

Well the decisions had been made prior to the election but I was informed this morning. I have a feeling it is in response to the election because of the amount of employees the company has if they downsize enough the insurance bill won't murder them.

That really sucks. I hope this isn't a view of things to come with Obamacare but I fear the worst.

Sorry to hear. I hope you find something better and soon.

Sorry to hear that. I know my company has dropped the top-tier of insurance they offered due to the changes. When I was laid off, I filed for unemployment. Took about 3 weeks to get the first check, so it's in no way fast, but, is worth your time as you'll recoup some of your personal losses from the 2 weeks of unemployment.
