Downsized

While my brother was in the hospital we got a call that FrugalSon's morning job will be downsized out of existence as of the end of the year. Budget constraints due entirely to the fact that one man on staff could not control himself morally and left the place in a financial shambles as a result. ARRRGHHH.

FrugalSon still has his afternoon / evening job at burgercentral, but we are on the lookout for one full time job that will pay him enough so that he can quit job 2 as well.

Mom doesn't mind the not having to drive 20 minutes each way to drop off and pick-up, but I was hoping that he'd be able to keep that job for a long time!! Nice benefits and a 403b. Oh well. He would have been there 2 years this coming February.



Have to keep stepping up that stairway of success and try not to trip on the broken rungs, eh? This has resulted in FrugalSon learning that our moral /social behaviours often affect others whether we mean for it to or not. He has learned a life lesson here and is confused/saddened/angered all at the same time by the resulting loss of respect he felt for the man along with the financial repurcussions to his own concerns!

I'm hoping that this all leads FrugalSon along a better path and an even brighter future.

Does anybody know if FrugalSon would qualify for unemployment if he still has some compensation from the second job??

    check your local unemployment office. he might be eleigible for reduced benefits since he does still have some income coming. even if he's not eligible for benefits, the UEO can place his info in a database of folks looking for jobs. here, they also have their own database of jobs and you have to be registered with the UEO to apply.
