Since mid-October, I have been in an ongoing tete-a-tete an employer. I stuck up for a mentally challenged customer, put my job on the line to protect his rights, and ended up getting terminated for my actions. After waiting the compulsory week, I filed my unemployment insurance claim on November, 8th.
Since my claim was filed, my employer has received legal documents requesting "their side of the story." They have chosen not to respond to the weekly mailings. Last week, my claim was elevated to an adjuster to be expedited for resolution. That included ONE FINAL attempt to get my former employer's side of the story. The response deadline is December, 17th. If there is no response by the deadline of 5pm...my claim will be approved...and the claim will FINALLY pay out.
I think it is shameful that an employer, who knows they were wrong--who admitted to other associates they handled the situation poorly--would choose to attempt to exact their last pound of flesh in this manner.
Yes, I realize it is their 'right' to respond or not respond...part of me wanted them to attempt to defend their actions, just so my lawyer would have their words to use against them in court. A larger part of me is thrilled that the morons have NOT responded because their lack of response will be seen as a partial admission of guilt and will facilitate my law suit.
The moral of this little rant is that management needs to create a paper-trail or suffer the consequences. Frankly the nearly $2000.00 this close to Christmas will be a pleasant gift...to my oil company, electric company and landlord....oh YES, and to my grandchildren that I am raising.

tried to appeal because our response to that effect. I testified to the symptoms (I was the first to put in writing that he appeared to be on something: Test him ASAP). It is also noteworthy that he was still in his probationary period when he could be fired with or without a reason.
. Of course, when that check comes in the mail--I will be interviewing candidates for my new store, setting up gondolas, and checking in vendors....oh processing an initial fill order from my grocery wholesaler.
