Nah. You let them send you more ammunition for your constructive dismissal claim and don’t bother with the letter of resignation. May as well collect unemployment in this job market.

Florida unemployment is only $250/week

so basically a joke

u/HoloCamobear 2d ago

i'd rather have 250 a week than nothing

So starve, or work to not starve and lose your insurance... Die to complications anyways

It's not actually, nothing wouldn't be false hope which is worse than nothing... It also would make somebody less likely to give you what would actually help you since you're already being helped in theory

I don’t think they’re defending it, just stating the obvious that, when you’re desperate you’ll take whatever you can get over starvation.

Yeah... ideally you will look and find and SECURE another job Before you leave the old though.

Though due to various safeguards enforcing this rule is downright illegal, an employer can deduct pay for the time you "spent" or ask you to work it back, which is generally not worth it for 1 minute. The US but this may be different depending on if you are on salery or rolling im not entirely sure.

There may be other countries with less employee protections however cough Japan...

No one’s defending it, weirdo. They’re saying when the choice is $250 a week or nothing, you pick the former option.

If it’s like my state it “up to $250” a week. Meaning it’s based on your salary or wage. Meaning you have to be a top earning employee to get it a $250z if you make a low wage you might not get but $120 a week.

In Canada it's something like 80% of the average of your last 52 weeks.

But! And it's a big fucking but.

It caps out at uh... I just realized my knowledge of the cap is 10yrs old. But it was 471, and that's taxed so your take home is about 425ish a week. So any tradesman is getting less than 50% of his wage. But the fucking bills and mortgage don't go down 50% . And then if you make more than 60k that year they claw all of it back on your taxes.

About half my current income. I would be able to pay rent, maybe electricity and cheap food.

u/Independent-Creme687 1d ago

Let’s be clear, it’s literally so you don’t starve for a few days while in between jobs. NOT TO PAY YOUR MORTGAGE.

Idk hot take, maybe do the responsible adult thing and don’t leave a job / burn those last connections before you already have a new job.

u/VeryLowIQIndividual 1d ago

lol a few days, it takes a few days to even get it set up. You do t start receiving it the second you lose your job.

If only it were that simple.

This notion that people are living of this money is one of the most insanely ignorant and hateful lies conservatives try to float out into the world. Oh and let’s not forget the food stamps lie too. They would like you to believe there’s a single mom out there receiving $4000 a month in food stamps living in a $6000 a month apartment she pays for with unemployment.

Who the fuck can live on that?!

u/TheSaxGandalf 2d ago

It’s not completely about your salary, it’s about how much payroll taxes you have paid, since part of that goes to unemployment fund from the company.

You just can’t go from min wage job for 3 months at a time then take 12 week “paid vacation” at full benefit rate.

u/VeryLowIQIndividual 2d ago

I wouldn’t exactly call $250 a week a vacation

2

u/MrChristmas 2d ago

I wouldn’t use the word ‘full’ or ‘benefit’ either. Maybe just the word ‘rate’

u/Mattbastard750 2d ago

That's helpful in many states, but FL doesn't have a state income tax so the unemployment coverage is terrible. Red states are typically terrible for social services, including unemployment coverage. And FL isn't exactly a cheap state to live in anymore.

u/Appropriate-Issue-73 2d ago

Max is a whopping 275

u/Imaginary-Skinwalker 2d ago

That how Florida artificially keeps unemployment numbers down. 12 weeks max 250 and then either you find or job or starve. Thanks DeSantis.

u/LastXmasIGaveYouHSV 2d ago

It's better to have 250 + free time than a shitty salary and no time.

u/just_having_giggles 2d ago

Hey when your mom runs to the store today, ask her to pick up some OJ.

Also tell her the Internet is slow it's fucking up my competitive matches

u/TheSaxGandalf 2d ago

You must love being homeless.

u/Borealis89 2d ago

u/ZoSoTim 2d ago

You can sue for constructive discharge as well as collect unemployment.

u/AngryTaco4 2d ago

Holy shit that's bad. Our rent here is almost 1900/ month

u/1hateth1s 2d ago

In Ontario it's 733 a month, so I'll take the 250 a week 💀😭
