Policy and Proceedure
I want to vomit every time I hear or read about how great Florida is doing regarding jobs and lowering the unemployment rate. REALLY?????? I have no idea where who ever it is( someone with a high paying secure job not doubt) grabs thier information. Yes, ther are alot of low paying get nowhere jobs out thereand lots of highly skilled jobs seeking applicants dotted through out the state but pull back the curtain of reality and find out what the people who fall between all that are struggling with. I mean really touch base with the thousand of people seeking a decent waged job with some security. Ask them how applying to a job feels when there are 300 to 400 hundred applicants gunning for the same position. Stop getting info from part of the problem which is the system; set up of corse from people who have no idea what it's like to have a job then not have one and rely on the state to help them out. Government heads only care about making their environment look good, they really don't care about the common man, the real working class heros.
The structure of unemployment has gone through some changes over the years, some say the changes are for the better, more up to date and easier to access. I think they and by they I mean the mucky mucks who have no concept what it's like to have to rely on asking and signing up for assistance just to try to keep afloat while searching for a better job so they won't land back leaning on a system that is broken. Yes, there are seedy lying unlawfull people out there that have abused the system and because of them the honest ones get to pay the price.
Once my intial claim got clearence end of May beginig of June there wasn't asense of panic because I had a little bit of my tx return money left and back log of PTO payso the weeks of waiting then wasn't as bad. Every two weeks i'd log on lst my job searches and a few days later money was in my account and bills, rent and exxpenses were drawn from that. I was hopefull and thankfull for what ever was alotted to me giving me peace of mind while i searched for agood job. In August through a suggestion of an associate I worked with I applied for a position where she worked. I got the job and started working the week of my next claim. I had hopes of this job being long term and when I claimed my so I thought last two weeks I informed the powers that be that I got a job. I really did believe that my days of job searching and claiming weeks were over.
I was let go nine days later pretty much the same amount of time before my next claim date had I not got that job. Due to lots of errors and not being able to catch on quick enough I was let go. i was a bit bewildered and hurt but I understood and I thought that would be a straight forward black and white reason and all I had to do was re-open my claim. Two weeks mind you the same amount of time between claiming my weeks anyways. Not sure the people who set up the list of reason as to why and how you get released from a job knows how to properly word things or maybe it was set up to set Innocent people back. My choices were got fired or laid off. Laid off would have been a softer choice but and would have released my benefits sooner but I wasn't let go because of lack of work or reduced hours so the only other choice was fired. I was given my space to write why I was fired which of course they see fired and all sorts of red flags and restrictions pop up. A 4 to six week holding period before anyone is allowed to be assigned to my case to investigate. REALLY???? A MONTH OF NO INCOME NOTHING? I was told my a plethora of phone reps that its the system and that's how things are run and I just have to be patient and wait it out. My question again is who is in charge of this system and do they have any idea what it's like to have something owed to them held hostage because of bureaucracy.
I was going to write a letter to Rick Scott but I no longer feel that any politician really cares about the real people, the real working class heroes. I now know what the people that had to experience the wait for help after katrina hit. It's a gutting feeling to ask for help from state and federal and have to wait it out due to policy and proceedure.
