There’s employment insurance, but it’s only 55% of your most recent salary and only up to a certain number, as well as the amount of time it lasts is related to the level of unemployment up to a maximum of around 6 months, I believe. But getting a job is hard as hell right now, especially with how all these companies are behaving.
It’s not a net, it’s a parachute with some holes in it. Not there to catch you, just there to slow the eventual crash.
I’m glad to hear you aren’t a piece of shit, though. Each business owner who acts right is a real-world example of what we could have.
It’s so easy actually. But it mostly fails at people insatiable greed. I never really got it. Is enough not enough? Sure it can’t hurt to have more than one needs, but to elevate your living standards by X for every X you earn more is…silly.
Thanks. IMHO that’s the best buisiness-model. At least for privately owned companies. Sucks for publicly listed. They only exist to blow shareholder-dicks and would prefer machines or slaves over people.
And OK, your parachute instead of a net…fitting, yet a tad cynical. Here it’s close to yours. 1 year at 60% (I think…) And bare minimum after that. Devastating if you lived large. But still better than nothing. Though it should be more fair and tied to income. 100% for lower incomes and 5% for higher or such.
But unless one had very little or lived exactly as large as one could, it’s still a lot of time to comfortably get another job. I hope. Never actually had to search for one.
People are in a cycle built by “rugged individualism” which leads many to attack others instead of lifting them up. They contribute to, and reinforce, the system which makes them so scared to lose their job.
Searching for a job right now is horrific. We have spmething like 8% unemployment in Canada and so many job posts aren’t even real, just there for the companies to get people’s information and see what the market looks like. You could be qualified and apply a hundred times and not even get ine interview. Then you have to ask yourself if you should switch careers, but that comes with the very valid fear that the new career will be just as difficult except now you have to start from scratch. It’s a huge mess out there.
Meh this blows. We (germany) are at 6% i think. But as far as I’ve heard, it’s the absolute same here with those fake-jobs that just test the market. Disgusting way to do that, but sadly efficient.
Also it probably helps to kill the spirit and hence…the salary. Switching is probably not the wisest anyway, except you already hate your current. Plus you probably would have to explain that.
And sad to hear that this “rugged individualism” is the same in CA. We even have a saying for that that goes like “lick the boots above, kick the heads below”. Which basically is the mentality of the, let’s say, intellectually more challenged people.
But capitalism breeds this, it’s an intended feature.
