Nothing has changed, that is why I’m demoralized. I know they were overwhelmed because of covid. I dealt with it back then.

The way things are now. It’s like nothing has changed. I can show you my emails. I have already contacted anybody and everybody and they just give me the run around and say they’ll look into it or they open up a claim or tell me I already have one open.

Nothing has changed. It’s ridiculous

I contact unemployment and get told the lines are busy after being on hold and automatically get hung up on

It’s depressing and demoralizing

My situation here is I was temporary laid off at the hotel I work at. They laid us off 8 days before Christmas. They decided to not pay us severance. Told us just file for unemployment and everything would be cool. They said because we have a return to work date that we wouldn’t have to do a weekly job search. That’s what they said.

What I expected to be a smooth process has turned into a nightmare. It’s bad enough the job did what they did at the time they chose to do it, but unemployment is giving me hell as well. I cannot get in contact with anyone and when I do, they’re rude and don’t help at all. It’s discouraging

I was reluctant on getting another job because I didn’t want to jeopardize the unemployment but at this point I have no choice. I can’t go these few months with no income at all.

I’m just super depressed. I never thought I would have to deal with this again. I thought things would be different compared to 2020 and 2021. It’s the same mess from back then.

I never could have predicted being laid off from work a few days before Christmas. It’s super depressing
