I just got laid off :-(

[I Like Waffle]

From my job at bby. Ive been working there 8-10 months and ive been laid off for reasons unknown to me. Apparently i have to wait for a response from HR sometime next week to see what happens. Basically what i was told is i was "suspended" until further notice, they may or may not terminate my employment. If i do get "terminated" how do i go about getting unemployment? What would you guys do?

Umm did u get fired or laid off?? Terminated usually means fired from my experiences lol. If u get fired for whatever reason u generally can't collect unemployment, at least in CT i know u cant.

This may be true in CT, but most states require that you be laid off or fired in order to receive unemployment benefits.

Usually you'd have to be employed with the job for 1 year to recieve unemployment. You may want to check your state laws.

The way it is in NC at least form what I've been told is you have to be on the job for 6 month's and you can only get it if your terminated for reason's out of your control or laid off. I work at Lowe's Distribution and I know alot of the people we fire for attendance can't get unemployment but the one's that are fired for performance alway's get approved eventually. Don't expect to get much though being as you worked at Best Buy. Friend of mine from Lowe's worked here for 2 year's and was making 13.50 a hour and he is only getting 260 a week.

Never been to NC but if you want a good job while your laid off or attending school try pizza delivery, at a good restaurant you make between $100-$250 a night tax free, you get to eat as much as you want and its an easy job.
