I've never known unemployment to pay more than my job. Aside from that I have only ever been fired from one job in my life and I don't like it. I'd much rather quit than be fired! And I have on many occasions. I've even walked out and been taken back. Other than the Navy I've never really had a great job, though. So it would depend on the job, but I would be upset if an employer were dissatisfied with my performance when I was trying to do a good job and I usually do. But then if I really suck at the job it would be better for me to move on. There are plenty of other things at which I'm good.

bostjan the adequate 🥉 It's an old story: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/low-wage-workers-unemployment-cares-act-earn-more-income/ but for a few months last year, minimum wage workers would have made more on unemployment than they would have made working full time at their former jobs. I personally know a few people in Vermont who were devastated to lose their jobs due to covid restrictions, only to find out that they'd be making significantly more income on unemployment. -

In the Navy, can't you see we need a hand. In the Navy, come on, protect the motherland. In the Navy, come on and join your fellow, man. In the Navy, come on, people, and make a stand. In the Navy, in the Navy." (I'm dancing up a storm for you here Linda, I hope it's appreciated :D) -

Linda Joy I have been laid off before. I've collected unemployment a few times. But usually I had to get a job even if it was a crappy one. But at least I could always find a job and keep it as long as I wanted most of the time. I can almost always get a job in fast food. Once I did take a job that paid less than what I was drawing on unemployment and now I remember being fired from a second job!
