I apologize in advance to folks that subscribe to BOTH LJ and FaceBook since you will be getting this news twice, but I am officially (as of todays phonecall with Tina) terminated with Books-A-Million. Not a huge shocker... three weeks of 'suspension' with zero communication kinda made me think they were leaning in that direction. But the silver ( Read more... )

Wow, I apologize for not realizing you had been suspended -
I usually read your LJ - I must have missed that!

Soak 'em for every penny you can!

Sorry. At least they stopped stringing you along? I'll keep my fingers crossed you can find a saner job soon.

Something to check out. asa101 April 5 2010, 15:18:55 UTC

Ok, I *JUST* found this out today.
First, you need to check out this NYT article:
http://www.nytimes.com/2010/04/04/us/04talx.html?hp=&pagewanted=all

The issue that this article is making is that the current way things go for BIG companies like walmart is that they have a company that will, upon your termination and your application for UI, send a letter of protest and denial to the state agency that is processing your claim. The kicker is all they are doing is sending a form letter that does not have anything remotely looking like details in it. They just say you quit.

The point I'm making here is, if you get a denial, don't just let it stand, fight it and follow up, so you get the money you deserve from UI and the company that should be paying for it.
