Your fired! Get outta here

Do what?

This is a discussion about a waitress who did something real stupid and was fired. She deserved to be fired.

It had nothing to do with “indoctrination” or “antifa” or whatever excuses one makes to make it seem only one side of the political spectrum does terrible things.

In total agreement. What ever happened to doing one’s job & not using it to antagonize anyone in particular? Or make a political statement?

Hopefully the state of Illinois doesn’t allow any Unemployment Insurance if the dismissal was for misconduct on the job.

The job you’re describing is literally my career. I ride herd on these lunatics. I don’t know a single food server or bartender who’s laid off and isn’t desperate to get back to work, since enhanced unemployment ran out and most of them get less than a hundred bucks a week from unemployment, which means they don’t qualify for the extra three hundred that I’m assuming will come eventually.

Perhaps you’d like to give this another shot.

Jeez dude. Is there anything you won’t argue about? If you are in customer service and you insult the customer, you get booted. It ain’t that complicated.

It’s back on!

This is my bidness, partner. Blaming a decline on service on COVID when a) servers have always been a gaggle of ■■■■■■■ loons as a rule and b) every tipped employee in the world is ■■■■■■■ scrambling for work because most don’t qualify for that extra three hundred bucks a week on unemployment is just dumb.

Why not?

Not if you make less than a hundred a week on unemployment. Then you get no extra money.

Trump made sure to stick the people who make the least, which is on brand if nothing else.

Says who? Not the EO. Who is getting less than $100 a week UE?

What on earth are you talking about?

That is how the program is being implemented. You have to make at least a hundred a week in state unemployment to get it. It is what it is.

Tipped employees. It’s extremely common. Many don’t even bother to file for unemployment in normal circumstances.

Especially in restaurants, no.

Family outfits don’t fire cousins and daughters, and corporate outfits that aren’t in the middle of a social media amplification stick to the liability protections of progressive counseling.

That’s your state. How in the hell were your employees making less than the threshold for $100 a week?

What is the percentage of UE per what wage?

Because $2.13 (or $4.35) an hour doesn’t add up to $100 a week, across four shifts.

Oh, they’re definitely at the Subway near me. It’s ironic because I worked for a Subway in rural Florida, & they were very strict about bodily hygiene and appearance.

I don’t think an application from such individuals would go anywhere but the circular file if the establishment catered to higher end clientele.
Is anyone on the Forum acquainted with the Chicago area or the restaurant in the O P?

When you lay off server staff or bar staff, they move on.

If you’re shut down for historic flooding, a fire, or anything, they move on.

Yes let’s get back to a time where no one ever did anything stupid. I don’t know what or when that was, or if it ever was, but it surely was sometime before now. In Trump’s America.

Minimum wage is 7.25

That’s $290 dollars a week.

Not for wait staff, bar staff, bouncers, bar backs or tipped hostesses.

Making $2.83/hr doesn’t equal a hell of a lot of unemployment money.
