Bob, you have my deepest symphathy. I'm in the same boat as you. I got laid off end of June. You'll probably be mourning the loss of our job for a
while (just like the loss of a friend) but I recommend filing for unemployment as soon as possible. Next week at the latest. The reason is that your
unemployment benefits is determined by how much you made at the last quarter. The umemployment office doesn't need to know the "why" you have
been laid off...only that you had. They'll probably have to verify your employment with the company. but that's it. If you have to put in the reason,
why..put in "supervisor determination". With lay-offs ongoing, I doubt they'd scrutinize your firing that closely.
And then get on with your new job..which is getting a new job. Which will be a marathon job. You do have a wide circle of friends around here, so you have a
support group.
If you have to blame somebody other than yourself, blame your friend also. The only way it got spread around is if he passed it on to someone else. Have fun
during the Labor day weekend and get cracking on Tuesday.
