High performers, how often do you have slack off days?
My boss and I don’t get along too well. I think if I don’t quit very soon on my own I will probably get fired. I am curious if I quit and give myself peace to figure out my next step, or join a coding bootcamp, while still applying for jobs, will I be eligible for unemployment? I know there is a rule that if you have a valid reason for quitting, they may honor that. Does anyone know the rules here? I am a green card holder.
If you leave voluntarily, you don't get unemployment You could potentially negotiate a severance if they really really want to be rid of you but those usually amount to bonus payment for leaving early and no unemployment. If you are fired for cause (malfeasance or negligence in CA) you will not get unemployment either but the standards for those are high and the burden of proof is in the employer to prove it, not on you to prove you didn't do anything wrong. If you are fired for any other reason, including "we are unhappy with your performance" you still qualify for unemployment. Once you file for unemployment, you have to periodically demonstrate you are applying for positions and are not in education or training.
just underperform and dont do anything. get him to fire you. then get your unemployment.
You get nada if you leave on your own. Us has a twisted system where your ex employer has to approve your unemployment claims. You take them to court otherwise. One of the prerequirements for unemployment is to get fired on mutual agreed terms. They agree to terms if you can prove a case on your way out, so you better start documenting fault play.
Thank you! Very valuable information. If i get fired on mutual terms, is that basically “them asking me to leave”? I don’t want to have “officially fired” on my record when applying for new jobs.
Small companies don't verify records. Bigger companies might accept an excuse. However I'd advise you to do like anyone else and find a job and put in your 2 weeks notice. You trying to collect unemployment on a gc might put you at odds with president 🍊 if you have less than 10 years worked on paper.
