What do you think of people who are fired & then can collect unemployment? Is it fair? Do you have it in your country? I remember many years ago a co-worker kept goofing off, making mistakes, just begging to be fired. Because if she was fired, she could collect unemployment. But if she quit, she couldn't. I feel it's unfair. The Supervisor didn't fire her. But would it have been better? She wasn't doing her job & made more stress & more work on the rest of us.

It certainly isn't right they are playing on the system.

No, it's not right and should be changed. They make more work on everybody else.

When I was last fired, okay, it was 'let go due to budget constraints', I received unemployment but I had to look for x number of jobs per week and have documentation that I did so. If you just quit, why in all that's Holy should you receive unemployment? I think the system has it correct but there are refinements that need to be made. For example, in ZandraJoi's example: I remember many years ago a co-worker kept goofing off, making mistakes, just begging to be fired. Because if she was fired, she could collect unemployment. But if she quit, she couldn't. If there is complete documentation of warnings, then suspension, then termination ... those people shouldn't be allowed unemployment either.

If they are playing the system, they should be arrested. But if unfairly fired, then it's a good thing to help those down on their luck.

But if unfairly fired ... Hence all the documentation I posted about. Fairly fired = no unemployment. Unfairly fired - should be reinstated with back pay. Unemployment should be available to them as well.
