I'm in PA, so yeah unfortunately this is how it goes. hats off to y'all in states with slightly better laws, but this is how it goes in my state. I speak from personal experience as well as the experience of my friends.
and all that documentation can be easily fabricated or cherry picked to try to make a point that isn't there.
it doesn't matter how the system is supposed to work, the laws in this country and PA especially are so fucked that it very rarely works out in the employees favor. you can potentially get unemployment, but wrongful termination suits very rarely go anywhere.
No, that's not how it works in PA or any state.
You're incorrect regarding unemployment eligibility as it relates to at-will employment status, and since you don't know what you're talking about you need to shut the fuck up before you discourage people from even attempting to pursue their rights when they lose their job.
lol. you sound like someone who has never tried to file for any of that shit. from another one of your comments, sounds like you had some corporate experience in firing people.
your experience in the corporate world firing people is not what people on the other side of the axe experience.
people should absolutely file for unemployment and pursue wrongful termination suits if possible. but your expectation that things will fall into their lap is unrealistic and will cost people money if they lose an appeal and are required to pay their benefits back.
Once again, you're wrong about many, many things.
Filing for unemployment costs nothing. When the company tries to deny the claim, you can appeal that for free, the company is required to provide evidence, and they frequently lose.
Wrongful termination is an entirely different thing than termination without cause and it's clear that you don't know that. This is why you need to shut the fuck up and stop telling people to give up when you don't know what you're talking about at all.
