    Default Two work related questions

    So I really hate my job and I want to quit.

    Here are the questions....


    If I give two weeks notice, then they walk me out the next day, do they have to pay me for the two weeks?

    Is it true you can't draw unemployment if you quit or get fired?

    very simple

    what say ye?

    I do not believe they have to pay the two weeks.
    I believe there is no unimployment if you quit.

    You can't get unemployment for quiting or being fired. Sometimes they'll let you 'resign in lieu of termination' and then not contest when you apply for unemployment, but that doesn't sound like your situation.

    They are only required to pay you for the time you are on site.
    You can't collect unemployment if you quit. I learned this the hard way when I quit my job after being assaulted by a customer and deciding it wasnt worth the trouble to stay.

    collections.

    they're always hiring too, that's part of the reason why it's such a crappy job. you get treated like dirt because they know there's a line of people outside willing to take your place.

    What's your exit strategy? I've had a couple jobs I would have left sooner, but having a wife and kid gave me the stamina to stick it out until I found something better.

    I always dreamed of quitting in a big way but never had the balls to do it.
