So I thought my boss not scheduling me for the month of January was a bratty teenage girl move, but this is really the cherry on top.
My boss called me early last week or the week before to tell me she got the unemployment claim from me. I swore she told me she was going to contest it and I pretty much blew the lid. I was civil, but I told her it was ridiculous that she took all my hours AND was going to take unemployment from me as well. How am I supposed to pay my bills with no job and no unemployment?!!! I didn't quit, she basically fired me! Then she says "No no no! You didn't hear me right, I'm not contesting, so you will get it!" ......
I call unemployment today to see what the heck is going on because I'm not getting any money. Oh, guess what! She IS contesting it! RRRRRR!!!! So either I heard her right and she's such a pansy that she lied to me after I responded, or I heard her wrong and she just straight up lied to me from the start!!! I was really upset on the phone with unemployment about her lying to me, but the guy was a sweetie and said they would do everything they could to get me the money, but I had to have a hearing first. They will back pay for all this time, but not until I win.
For those who have different unemployment laws, in Iowa you can receive unemployment benefits if you are cut hours even if you're part time. It was settled that I was going to get 80% of my pay every week, minus the hours I still worked (two days the entire month). I got the debit card and everything set up, then that witch sent in her letter of contest.....
I'm so angry right now!!!! I'm going for a drive to cool off and get my dang license renewed....
