Times are hard these days. Our company isn't seeing patients anymore so most of us are sitting at home hoping we still get paid. With Dallas announcing the stay at home through April and it'll probably continue to be extended, I'm looking at picking up another job so I'll continue to make money.
Looking at stocking shelves at Lowe's or Home Depot right now
I'm pretty sure unemployment pays around $1121 a week in Texas. Are you going to make that Lowes?
One is willing to to stock shelves to earn a paycheck.
"Beta" is good with an unemployment check.
I would hate to see this person work for $500 a week when they can make double that not working. Hell, do unemployment and do some side work for cash if needed to make ends meet and feed your family.
I am eager to get back to work full time but I pay more in taxes per year than the average person makes so I don't mind getting some of that tax/UI money back if I was eligible. I have never been on unemployment a day in my life.
