The HR thing I posted about never went away and I got fired today. Already applied for unemployment so at least I'll now get paid while I search for another shitty job and I won't be spending $300 a month on gas just to get to work.

It's kind of a relief in a way. This job was a major source of stress for me and it's not like I'm the only person they've fired recently. They've been letting people go left and right, getting rid of long-time veterans to cut down on wage costs I suppose, so I'll just take the L, chill the rest of the day, and try to get some things done around the house.

My brother is still a manager with the company (in another department, recently forced to move there from the department he was in, it's a whole thing) so he has inside knowledge and he told me not to worry about that. It overall costs less to just approve unemployment than it does to absorb court costs of lawsuits. California, for all its being a neoliberal shithole, actually has fairly robust worker protection in comparison to some parts of the country.

Oh nice, I'm glad to hear that! Yeah in my part of the country it's a real fight to get any unemployment.
