I’m going through the same exact thing right now but I didn’t even get severance I’m in adjudication because they paid out my remaining PTO hours, which they’re legally required to do so idk why that should be an issue. The last time I was on unemployment it took 2 months to get paid, I’m expecting it to be worse this time.

It's crazy, I realize the whole point to the unemployment insurance thing is to pretend to have something available to help people or something but maybe they could, you know, try to get their heads out of their asses. Your experience really showcases this because like you said you are being "punished" due to your employer following the law. My severance works out to 2.5 weeks pay + $500 (pay through the end of the year + $500 bonus) so yay I'm not totally broke but it's not like I've just gotten 6 months pay or something.

I'm pretty sure the entire point to our country is to try to "delete" as many normal people as possible so the rich fucks like Musk and Bezos can extract just a few more dollars.
