VINDICATION!!! I have WON my unemployment, YES I HAVE! I am so so SO HAPPY!!!! I am so so so pissed off and angry at B&W... LOL but am too happy to let it get to me. No way in hell would I ever want to work for people like that again. I am ecstatic!

[paragraphs.livejournal.com]

Thank you!!! I am so glad that they found I was wronged wronged wronged. Now I can relax a little, and not wake up filled with dread and fear and worry. And anger. That was the worst--the ANGER.

(Now maybe I can relax a little about devoting so much energy to writing?)

OK, what, did they deny you unemployment???!? That's pretty jerky. Glad you won in the end.

[paragraphs.livejournal.com]

They fired me, so I had to prove their firing was unjust. I had the telephone hearing Tuesday and no one from B&W showed up, just sent at statement. I gave my honest side, cold hard facts, and B&W gave theirs. I WON! HA! TAKE THAT!

[alba17.livejournal.com]

What a pain. I used to work in this area and in that state, if you were fired, you got benefits unless you were fired for cause and the employer had to deny the benefits. Sounds like TX has different laws.

[paragraphs.livejournal.com]

Oh, I was supposedly fired for cause, and the employer did try to deny the benefits. I took it to the next level, and won.

[caninepawprints.livejournal.com]

What happened? I must've missed it.

[paragraphs.livejournal.com]

I was fired on December 20th, after 9.5 years of awesomeness, by a relatively new jerk of a manager out of the Topeka office. Texas Employment Commission did not agree that I was guilty of that which I was accused, after a telephone hearing. My old employer did not show up, just sent a statement. I have no idea if TEC went back to the employer to check their facts against mine but whatever, TEC found the above, and I therefore get my unemployment. Old employer's attempt to prevent me getting it failed. YES. Bastards.

Glad to hear it. Congratulations.

I am sooo very relieved and happy. :) :) :) :) Too bad school is mid-semester. Dang it.

[stargazer60.livejournal.com]

YES!!!!!!

[paragraphs.livejournal.com]

Thank you!!!! LOL penguins clapping, so cute.

[fiwen1010.livejournal.com]

Woop! Sense prevails! That is most excellent news.

[paragraphs.livejournal.com]

Well, at least TEC's sense. B&W is still a loser. It feels wonderful though for an entity to have the facts, and find for me. Now I can truly go forward, though dammit, I hope I find a job soon! I have traveling I want to do!

[pretteangel.livejournal.com]

So happy for you!!! Yes, yes yes!!!

[paragraphs.livejournal.com]

THANK YOU!!!!! It has been an angry two months. LOL. But now I can wake up happy. And determined.

[qthelights.livejournal.com]

That is AWESOME!!

[paragraphs.livejournal.com]

Awww your little person has yellow hair! CUTE! Thank you!!! It is very awesome.

[topgeargirl2.livejournal.com]

Have already told you this but I still think it's Awesome news!

[paragraphs.livejournal.com]

Thank you TGG2!!! It is indeed awesome. :)

[cd0103.livejournal.com]

Sweet!! I figured when they didn't show up for the appeal you were fine.

[paragraphs.livejournal.com]

I think they were scared to. Others who got fired from my old job, they DID send someone, and won. Whew what a huge relief.

I just wish I could see that man's face when he hears I won my right to unemployment. It would be very satisfactory, indeed.

YAY!!! :D :D :D

[paragraphs.livejournal.com]

Thank you! :) :) Your user pic is very appropriate, lol.

[contrarywise]

Hooray and congratulations! \o/

[paragraphs.livejournal.com]

Thanks bb-cakes... I rather it be a post about finding The Best Job, Ever, but this just feels so damn good. My old boss-who also got fired--was stunned that no one showed up to the hearing.

[catsintheattic.livejournal.com]

Now I can relax a little, let the rest of this anger go, and concentrate on looking forward to good things.

This. Holding onto anger is never helping. Even if we succeed that way, it will still taste bitter, too. Letting go, on the other hand, means making way for new and better things.

*dances with you and swirls you around*

[heleninwales.livejournal.com]

Hurrah! Well done you for sticking up for yourself.

[paragraphs.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I wish I hadn't waited six weeks to do it, but then again, am glad I finally did. I had anticipated a telephone hearing with probably the man who fired me, and I was not mentally ready for that. Then it ends up no one showed up.

[paragraphs.livejournal.com]

Letting go, letting go--I admit I had a hard time getting to sleep last night, because I was imagining the scenario when that rat bastard who fired me is told the news. LOL. :)

Now to put it out of my head, for good.

[caninepawprints.livejournal.com]

You can ignore my last comment when I asked what reasons you were given for being fired, although I'm still a little confused about that. I went back through your journal and found the entry, and I do remember reading it in December. It didn't say what reasons he gave for firing you in the first place, though. Was it because of what they said during your review??

Either way, I'm very glad you won! That has to be a huge relief!! I'm so happy for you!

[paragraphs.livejournal.com]

Oh no, I made a ton of copies for my daughter's internship, Samaritan House here in Fort Worth--a nonprofit community for Aids/HIV homeless. I had checked with the Topeka office about it, and was told sure fine, but six weeks later, that bastard manager fired me for it, and for, get this, having Netflix sent to work. Bottom line--he had fired my boss a couple of months before, and knew I was Chris's minion (true) and wanted me out. So he found a way to do it, even though it was serious, serious reaching.

I am glad to be gone from there. Everyone I cared about is also gone, and we meet often for lunch or dinner. It is ridiculous and sad what that company has done to a once vibrant office. There are now 5 people in it--a year or so ago there were 13. Five were fired including me, and two quit on their own, got the hell out of there. One of the girls also fired sued for wrongful termination and won. I won't go that far--though I could have a good case. I got my unemployment so am ready to just go on with things.

[caninepawprints.livejournal.com]

I'm very glad you won your unemployment. It sounds like they fired you (and everyone else) for a ridiculous reason, and I have no doubt if you did want to sue them for it, you'd win. But I completely understand not wanting to go that route. I'm not sure I would either, no matter how strong my case is.
