Your call will be answered in the order it was taken, your wait is 1 hour 37 minutes. Still on hold to the Oregon unemployment line. Apparently there is a problem with me getting signed up for unemployment, imagine that.

I got laid off on 09…. Just as the economy was in recovery mode from that recession. So positive thoughts headed your way.

I will say. Illinois has its issues…. As do many if not most states. One thing that did work at the time was getting signed up for unemployment. Was able to do it online. Didn’t have to call in. Didn’t have to go to an office. Literally took minutes and I was signed up.

We have a new system here that is online but it said I didn't exist, so almost 3 hours of attempting to get on the phone with a person who will probably tell me the same thing. :unsure: :facepalm:
 
It’s this garbage I don’t miss being retired. Yes. There’s issues with that as well. Dealing with SSA and Medicare. But in the near 50 years I worked, I had to do the unemployment this 3 or 4 times. Only once from getting laid off from a business that’s still operating. The other times were those…..” turn in your keys to the front door fellas…. This business ain’t no more.”

That part and worry I don’t miss.

I had to do that once myself, but I only had 1 employee at the time.

Last time it happened to me my store was part of a 10 store conglomerate spread out over 3 states. So probably 100-150 employees. Long story. But basically one of the four owner was practicing some shady financial stuff and our main brand of tractor company pulled our license. Or whatever you’d call it. Without that, we had nothing left to sell. Couldn’t do warranty. They came in with trucks and repossessed any equipment that was still in their books. Sucked.

We survived That mess by the skin of out teeth, but I also learned about reality and what was important. Also found out that the IRS has no compassion for someone just trying to do the right thing, and that paying every bill and fighting to be horable actually hurt us and we were penalized while crooks were rewarded with our money.
