    Did my security company fire me without letting me know?

    Been leaving voicemail messages every day since last Thursday about calling me back for post reassignment & they have yet to respond. Before they changed offices last year whenever I'd call, I'd at least get someone on the phone, now everything goes to voicemail. Emailed a couple of HR employees today & no response. If they fired me for going on UI that's fine I could deal with it, but don't ghost me & not respond.

    Thanks EZ.. You'd think a company would be required by law to let an employee know if they were terminated.

    yeah not sure what the legal ramifications are in your case. but something does not seem right. I would be worried as well.

    varies by state. I think federally that if the company is over a certain threshold of employees, they have to inform the employee in change in employment status. It sounds like your company would certainly be big enough. Maybe they have sent certified mail, and it hasn't arrived yet.

    To be in security these days you got to be able to throw a baseball 50mph minimum,
    maybe that’s what did you in.


    Doug you like anything in tennis in the near future?

    If you were in a union none of this nonsense would happen. That is why republicans fight so hard to brainwash jackasses to think unions are bad. They rather have all Americans have no representation whatsoever and get fired by some jerkoff that has a chip on his shoulder and you can’t say shit.

    I don't mind the unions if people could opt out whenever they want to, but if in order to work a certain job I had no choice but to join unions - that's when I don't like them, I rather be able to choose for myself if I want to join or not.

    Got my last DD in April been on UI ever since so that wouldn't tell me anything Manny. In all honesty I don't want to go back to work ever again but rely strictly on my gambling winnings but so far I've only been cashing out $350/wk the last 2 months & even that's not sustainable if I go on tilt like usual.

    No home jobs pay enough for where you live and I assume basic computer knowledge


    But if you find one, let me know

    Dougy,
    Didn’t you basically quit in the first place?
    If I remember right your weren’t satisfied with the new post they gave you and you decided to stay home and collect unemployment which is basically illegal in the first place

    Pretty much knucks but I don't see how that's illegal. They never called to reassign me so I did what any sane, rational person would’ve done in that situation. Legally file for UE & collect $785/wk for the next 6 months sitting on my ass. As a fellow gambler you should appreciate a sharp play when you see one

    Rudy apparently you don't understand the security industry. I'm an at-will employee not under contract meaning they could bounce me from post to post at their discretion or fire me at a moment's notice without cause. With that said unless I'm told otherwise I have no reason to believe I was terminated.

    The thing is I really hate dealing with the general public on any level even if it's over the phone. That's the benefit of working graveyard security

    There is a labor shortage because of the dumb economic policies of this administration extending benefits when the economy is trying to open up. There likely is no one in to take your calls because of the work shortage.

    You should find out if you have been fired though, because the date is important for unemployment benefits if you go that route.
