Also I’m curious, it wasn’t until recent years I’ve learned that unemployment benefits are even a thing. So I’m wondering, if someone gets fired from a job, it must’ve been because they did something really bad, so how could they be entitled to continue getting paid after doing something really bad? And then continue getting paid up to six months while not working at all? That seems strange to me.
But also there was the COVID era when so many people couldn’t work because their jobs shut down, and they drew unemployment and then, so I understand that’s a valid scenario.
But my question remains, if someone gets fired from a job, it must’ve been because they did something really bad, so how could they be entitled to get paid after doing something really bad?
Someone who is fired for good cause generally doesn’t qualify. If they’re fired without being at fault, or if they quit for a good reason, then that’s different.
Thank you.
