فقدان الوظيفة في أمريكا

Wait, were you laid off or were you fired?

I wasn't fired, my whole position was eliminated in the cuts.

They let me go after six years with the company.

They said it was a budget thing, nothing personal.

How many weeks of severance am I getting?

Do I have to sign this before I get severance?

Will my final paycheck include my unused vacation days?

Can I take this agreement home and read it first?

Would you be willing to be a reference for me?

What will the company say if someone calls for a reference?

Am I still eligible for unemployment if I quit on my own?

If you're fired for misconduct, you usually can't collect unemployment.

How do I file for unemployment in this state?

Do you know how much my weekly benefit will be?

I'm between jobs right now, but I'm interviewing a lot.

I'm so sorry, that's really tough.

Let me know if there's anything I can do to help.

Have you heard back from any of the places you applied?

Where should I drop off my laptop and ID badge?

Honestly, getting laid off was a blessing in disguise.
