I'm trying to get laid off...
- Thread starter Ithnu
- Start date
I was laid off for a four month period at my job. The first thing I bought was a bottle of champagne and then applied for unemployment online. I thought it was gonna be awesome having all this free time. I took classes at night twice a week, but I was still bored. This was before I got back into MTB. I basically woke up at 2 everyday and went to the bars mostly.
When they called me back, because I was a contractor, I changed my residency back to NJ, and got a year of split per diem. So that was nice.

so same bucket as showing up drunk then
Yeah. Massive hangover when you're still a little drunk = fired.
so your best options right now are cross dressing or the quran
Just what our military needs, a lazy non motivated **** being involved in product design. I will remember you the next time an experimental aircraft goes down because of design flaws, and I supervise the recovery efforts and see people I know comforting the family of the crew.
Best bet is to have your own 8 month to a 2 year personal safety net in savings, just for a worst case scenario. Unemployment pays okay in some states, but you shouldn't be in a situation where you have to wait for the check to pay some bills.
Why not both?
Not to mention another leach on an already overburdened system. I hope you get exactly what you are asking for.
burqa!
not everything is about you.
You pay into your own unemployment for your first 26 weeks, it's not like he's gonna be a "99er".
If I start working slower/lazy it doesn't mean I'm suddenly going to forget how to be an engineer. I've been doing this for nearly a decade and have fixed way more problems than I've caused.
I argue with engineers everyday at work over drawings. I'm sorry, but I am your enemy! For I am QA!!
I pay far more taxes than most. My wife and I make enough where we lose all kinds of deductions. Like I said before, I really want my 10 weeks of severance pay.
Also I started working on a PhD, I realized I wouldn't have time for a proper dissertation so I tabled that. If I quit I have to pay back several thousand in tuition. If I get laid off I'm off the hook.

LOL I'm actually in stress and dynamics analysis. So I tell those silly design engineers their stuff is going to break.I argue with engineers everyday at work over drawings. I'm sorry, but I am your enemy! For I am QA!!
I'm trying to get into technical writing at my place. I gotta put my journalism degree to use somehow.
See JohnE's comment above. I want to get laid off, not become a crap engineer.

sounds like you're there.
That and if you work for the FAA, that can mean prison time in some cases.
Not even worth repying to...ithnu, I certainly hope for your conscience sake that your actions do not result in any unneccesary deaths, injuries or cost overruns. Good luck...
It's not about the quality of work suffering, it's about the quantity. They are not the same thing.
if you'd like your own soap box, allow me to direct you to the "new thread" button
I'm going to reply to you.
I'd say posting on MTB message boards at work could get you laid off, but then again maybe not.
Sgt Buzz Killington showed up.
Start snorting lines of crushed Viagara so you can rock a boner all day at work, then just stop in high visibility areas and stare dejectedly at your crotch, mumbling incoherently.
say it! say car ramrod!
You're my fvking hero. Let me know when you figure it out. Inspiration!Oh I'm not worried about finding another job. I'll just get 10 weeks of paychecks (severance) and unemployment if I get laid off. So that's the goal. I'm not in my 20s anymore, I'm not going to harden the f%uk up. I want the summer off.
And the your dime? All I work on is government projects so the money is coming from your dime no matter what.
unemployment has become difficult to obtain these days. the days of simply being laid off and being able to collect are things of the past...
this.
Must be a regional thing? My wife got laid off last winter, signed up online, and unemployment checks rolled in...

Unless you are laid off as part of a series of other layoffs, or you quit, you are talking about getting fired.
