So I'm pretty miserable at my current job and I want out. I don't have anything else lined up yet so I was considering trying to get fired so that I can collect umemployment.

Any ideas on what I can do? Please, nothing crazy or illegal.

A waste of life? Because I don't enjoy my job? Obviously you're too young to have experienced the real world. Not everyone can find their dream job. Sometimes you gotta take what you can get and make ends meet. But you'll find that out soon enough.

Can be difficult to collect unemployment if you are fired. Of course, it varies from state to state.

If you are fired and then file, a smart employer will challenge it. The state unemployment agency will then start a basic probe as to why. if you were fired for misconduct or any other reason, especially if the employer gave you a warning, you will be denied benefits.

I challenge every one that crosses my desk. So far, I am batting 100% for the year. Four claims, four denials.

They fired this lady who was a complete piece of trash. She filed for umemployment and they gave it to her. I've been here longest so I doubt they'll challenge it.

Try sexual harassment.

It gets people in trouble lots of times.

You might even get yourself fired.

It would let everyone know that you're somewhat of a pervert, but you'll get the result you want.

Plenty of people hate their job. The only reason they keep is so they can put food on the table for X number of mouths to feed in the household. If you want the dishonorable way of doing this, go for it. Be happy with your terrible decision.

See, to get unemployment, you've gotta get fired for something like downsizing. It can't be for coming in drunk or something.

dude, anyone can do something they enjoy. Great mindset you have. If you think you are going to fail and scrape by, you will.

I havent got my dream job set up yet, but I'm not complaining. Jobs are temporary, careers are for life. My career isnt in banking or grocery sacking ;)

Get a new job.

Seriously, If you don't like your current situation, find a new job. I would be pissed the **** off if I was paying taxes that go towards your unemployment because you don't like your job. Cry about it. I have had numerous jobs I hated with a passion, yet I worked there because I need money. Grow up.

Why not go off with a bang?

Go to work in a giant rubber chicken suit half drunk, but still sober enough to memorize witty one-liners that you can use for when your boss asks you just what the heck you're doing.

You could also make out with him/her and get slapped with a sexual harrasment suit...oooo fun!

As I said, it varies from state to state. Plus, a lot of employers don't know they can challenge or don't want to mess with it. I was surprised how easy it was to challenge the claim.

One was caught smoking pot on the job, another threatened a supervisor, another was caught sleeping, and one was jsut plain lazy.

Supposedly, in my state, you can check to see how many unemployment claims a potential hire has filed. Never done it though but I heard it exists and in a well organized HR department can make or break a possible job.

Just because we live in a America doesn't mean we don't have any form of honor. As I said, do whatever makes you sleep at night. I won't be crying over other people's poor decisions.

Yup. Supervisor gave him a written warning but he was just a little too complacent.

Don't need people like that driving up our unemployment insurance. The way I figure it, the company bankrolled his laziness long enough, no point in paying for his unemployment too.

Make embarassing photoshopped pics of your boss and stuck them up all over your workspace.

It would get you fired most likely, and it would be fun for all :)

Or you could just not turn up for like 3 days, and on the fourth turn up drunk....that would probably work.

doesn't unemployment also depend of the reason you got fired. like if you got caught for stealing, I don't think you'd be eligible for unemployment.

He's right; don't get fired for misconduct. You have to get fired for poor performance. That way, the unemployment agency views it like you want to work but you're just too stupid. :D

Yup. But when you file for unemployment you can check whichever box you want. Actually how I discovered it could be challenged. Guy got fired for something or other, put 'lack of work' as the reason for his termination.

I wrote a letter to go on record saying that was not the reason. Got a call askng if that was my challenge, I said 'Uh, yeah'. He was denied. And that is how it all started.

yep. happened to a guy at a previous job i had as well. he got denied too. if a company allows many ppl to get unemployment their rates for Unemployment insurance goes up. so if they really fire you for a bad reason then they will challenge.

OK, first off, if you plan on ever having anohter job, T-R-U-S-T me you DO NOT want to get fired. As you are applying for that next job, the apllixation will more likely than not ask if you have ever been fired, and that causes your cahnces of getting hired there to drop like a rock! And if you think that lying on the application is a loophole.... well... think again, because your employer is allowed to look through your work history and see how you really did at each job. And I am not quite sure on this but I think that lying on an application and getting caught are grounds for jail time and/or a fine. And on top of that, no doubt you will get fired, but you may never get another job again. I am currently looking for a paying job and I only have a month left until I go back to college to start working on my career. I don't knoow what you are doing at work, but I would have to recommend staying at your job. Depending on how old you are, I don't think you even get unemployment benefits, and I am almost POSSITIVE you will not get ANYTHING if you are living with a parent or guardian (meaning that they feed you and buy you your neccesities.) But if you really want to get fired (First of all, I'll take your place!) (LOL)...(Not!) but uh... to get fired, go to work late and act tired saying you stayed up all night playing video games and that you don't feel like working. Or you could get a reallly important assignment and just not do it at all, causing a major back-up in all other worker' routines. (That definitely will get you fired.) And if the doesn't work, your boss likes you too much and you may have to do something illegal.

it doesn't work that way. I just did it, and it is not that simple. Unemployment can and will deny your claim if they find out that you were fired by your employer. That is what happened to me back in Feb., and I am still having trouble finding another job... 5 omnths later.

you cannot be fined or receive jail time for this... whoever told you this, lied.

I am almost POSSITIVE you will not get ANYTHING if you are living with a parent or guardian (meaning that they feed you and buy you your neccesities.) bunnylover737
