Employers get away with way too much its frightening.I worked at a convenience store and my advise is do not ever work there. At least be very, very careful. Verbal abuse, harassment, bullying being denied breaks, being spoken to like we have no value at all. Like we have no feelings was awful.

I got written up 3 times, then they let me go, and I still got unemployment....then there was a time I was denied, and I appealed it and got unemployment....don't believe the hype!!

I was fired, (bc we were overstaffed) but manager claims I was who dumped some papers on the shred that should’ve been done however there is no proof. Why was she looking in the shred box & second I was not the only nurse working on fax refills. Mind you, if the is a fax asking for a refill all we do is go on the patients profile, if its a maintenance medication within 3 month visit we send it electronically, if theyre not due for a refill we give them a call. Manager was so vague didnt even show me what the deal was or what paper

Hi. A nice video. I’ve been to OK but I live in MD. If you’re let go or terminated not from misconduct but from unsatisfactory work performance happening seven years after being on the job but with newer management, can one still collect unemployment? I’ve done lots of research and I found the answer is generally yes. Not from any misconduct but only unsatisfactory work performance. Any information would be helpful. Thank you.

Hi, I have a question. Will I lose my benefits? Does Oklahoma consider lack of transportation a good cause of not being able to accept work? I was offered a job and I took the job at first. I went through background check process. I fill out all paperwork. When it background came back, i could not take the job anymore due to being in a car accident. My car is not drivable so lack of transportation.

Do unemployment offices keep records of companies that fire many people, that continually have unemployment claims from that company? This could show a pattern of wrongdoing by that company.

Hello. please help. I was fired from a moving company for having a so-called "attitude" that I was unaware I ever had. I worked for this company for 2 months and one day there was no elevator available at the assisted living facility that the client was moving to. We had to use the stairs and I jovially (while smiling) mentioned needing some water after dozens of trips. the team lead called the owner and I was let go. I'm in great shape and was not bitter at all about getting through the move. My language remained professional and palatable throughout the whole day.

Good morning I was fired back in July, Due to not login out of a computer and denying it. The situation was that a supervisor had use my desk and computer the day before, and she never logged out and the computer was left open all night until that morning when I came in and sat at my desk .When I went to log in to my computer to get emails etc, her screen was pulled up which you could see emails patient info etc. I asked A coworker to witness this and I immediately logged out. I was fired due to them saying That I would not admit to reading the emails ect on the screen which I did not I logged her out..I asked them to ask the coworker or they could call IT and I could prove nothing was open but they did not follow up, they fired me for not saying I opened the emails. please help any advice would be great my appeal date is next Friday. TIA

I got fired because I would not go to work on Sunday. I have need work on Sunday. When I was told I said my Sunday are blocked. Because we were told to block the days you don’t want to work. My unemployment was denied by my employees.

My employer is terminating me because I missed days of work that were approved by them and also I told them I have screenshots of misconduct text messages from employees outside of work and they told me it’s illegal to take screenshots of staff conversations even outside of work

I’m in Oklahoma. I was fired two months ago after a month long’s worth of technical issues (I worked remote for a call center). I experienced technical and internet issues that required me to call out after 45 minutes of said technical issues a day (company policy). After making my supervisor aware of said issues and attempting to troubleshoot with the company’s IT department with no luck, I ended up having to call out everyday ~5 hours into my shift. Employer ended up firing me citing “reliability” and “absenteeism”. I was given a formal warning, however, I had been transparent about my constant technical issues with proof. I was denied unemployment benefits and have an appeal coming up. Employer cited misconduct, but the situation was out of my control and I tried my best to resolve the issues and kept my employer in the loop 100% of the time. Do I have a chance at winning my appeal?

I am in Texas and my claim was declined because I was fired. I was fired for "a conversation I had with manager George..." I was terminated for voicing my dislike of Sexual harassment in the workplace. I filed a complaint with the EEOC and they have taken my notice seriously and this previous company has 1 month to mitigate. I was wondering, is this a legitimate reason to decline my claim for unemployment?

[jahballa]

Can you show me how to file the right way a website or something please I’m in New York thank you

[tinyt]

If you were fired for misconduct even if you had documentation for majority of those days is there a possibility of still winning your appeal hearing?

from the time I was 16 until I was 28, I lived and worked in Oklahoma and never experienced anything horrible from any employer including being lied about. I moved to Colorado in 1990 for a career job and saw the most egregious abuse to employees that I could ever imagine out of every corporation that I worked for. Colorado is an “at will” State, meaning that an employee can be fired for no reason whatsoever at the will of the employer. This makes it impossible for someone to ever prove a sexual harassment or gender discrimination or age discrimination case. The employer does not have to state why they are firing the employee and when the employee tries to get unemployment benefits, they are denied and there’s no reason given for that either. When I owned a small art gallery, I was threatened by the state of Colorado that I had to pay unemployment tax even though me, my husband nor my son were ever receiving one dime of wages while we were trying to get the business started and we were all working outside jobs to pay for the business expenses because the gallery was not self supporting for the first few years. I refused to give the state of Colorado one red cent for unemployment because none of us were actually employed but we’re just volunteering so we could get our business going. I have to wonder what happens to all that money that all of the corporations are paying into the state of Colorado when people do not get unemployment benefits and I have been told by a Colorado state representative that employers often lie to the department of labor telling the department of labor that the employee has quit their job so that unemployment benefits will not be paid to the employee. The state representative actually told me that employers do this constantly so that their unemployment taxes will not increase because no one is ever getting unemployment after job separation. How much more vile and corrupt can our country really become? I have friends that have left the United States over a decade ago and are working in Russia and tell me that it is the most wonderful place and that a great amount of the population are Christianized because they came out of horrible communism and the people are so grateful to even be alive after over 100 million of them were murdered by the God hating communist regime of the Soviet union. They are apparently a very moral people now and treat each other with a tremendous amount of respect which is the extreme opposite of the way Americans behave and treat each other. Yes, I realize that all of us have been tremendously lied to by our media, our Government and our education system. I truly believe that we are living in one of the most corrupt countries that the world has ever seen and yet everyone is intentionally blind because they just cannot admit that this has been a horrible failure when you create a system that is the equivalent to a large plantation full of slaves all in the name of Fascism (the marriage of government and corporations). we can honestly state that our system is 100% fascist benefiting only oligarchs, government employees of every flavor and big corporate mafia bosses all crammed together an operating a massive organized Plantation. The only way that people can come off the plantation is to refuse to be involved in banking, finance, being employed by corporations or government and actually hand manufacturing products they sell for cash or farmed commodities that they can sell for cash, living off grid in their own property that’s completely paid for (getting their Land Patent) and participating in local networks of people that are doing the same things. I have experimented with this and it’s working extremely well. Call it a network of people operating outside of the norm and of those who are willing to defend their property with their own lives should they suddenly be attacked by the plantation mafia and their thugs. Imagine a massive amount of FREE PEOPLE, refusing to be corporate slaves, living like our ancestors who founded this country in the 17th century and refused to be enslaved by the British, French or Spanish. Modern FREEMEN AND FREEWOMEN utilizing technology to have beautiful and functioning off-grid homes, working for their own benefit and refusing to be fleeced by wickedness.

I just found out that I was fired when unemployment sent me a discharge questionnaire. My last day of work was two weeks ago and he told me that he had to let me go because someone said I kept telling others to slow down. So today when I found out I had to fill out the questionnaire I texted him to see if he would respond so I can get documentation of why I was fired and he said exactly the same thing and unsatisfactory performance! I’m a union working and I getting laid off every winter and unemployment is how I survive. Do you think I have a legitimate shot at getting benefits if I submit that text message?

[LoveAimshigh]

Thank you for this vid. Very helpful. If I get fired and the job asked me to sign paper work of any kind do i HAVE to sign what they hand me in order to get approved for unemployment? And how do you PROVE that you were wrongfully fired when you no longer and come back to the job?
