company fired me for safety performance now can't get hired

@Chinatown should be aling soon to help. What city and state do you live in?

 

Still got a pair of walking shoes? Knocking on doors and craigslist is your best friend. I've had 2 driving jobs after a roll over. If I can do it so can you.

 

Hang in there, sometimes it takes time to find a good job.

 

Plenty of mega carriers out there looking for warm bodies.....

 

Forget the mega's.... get a copy of your driving record from the state and hit all the med/small companies in your area...


For now Collect unemployment... you paid in all these years...

 

Yeah... unemployment is an INSURANCE, not a handout.

You paid premiums into it for decades; it's your turn to put in a claim. Don't let anyone make you feel bad about it. Nobody asked you if you wanted to pay in... if they had, and you had refused, then you would not be due any consideration in return. But a small part of your earnings was paid in as premiums, by your employers, all these years, and they got a pretty dammed good deal.

Your turn.

 

The unemployment won't get paid. Company will deny it. Then when he appeals they will show the documentation of the accident. Trust me I know. I was at a major corporation for 11 years, 4 years of that was in management so I saw it first hand. They never lost a claim that they put up a fight on. There was a few occasions they didn't fight the claim. Myself being one because I didn't have a single piece of paper in my file after 11 years. The current place I am at, we have never lost a claim. My hr department won't even consider a term unless I have things well documented. That being said, inside 90 days, it is an easy win for the company. Its like a trial period. All it takes is one thing. This is especially true if they laid it out in orientation. It sucks. Ga is a right to work state. Again, trust me they wouldn't have fired him if they didn't know they would win the claim.

That being said there are plenty of driving Jobs in Georgia. How long you been driving? What are you looking for? Tons of delivery jobs available all over the state if you don't mind busting it and earning that check. Start with Coke in Columbus if you want something local for a while. If your willing to come to Atlanta, you can have a job by the end of the week.

 

If they fight the claim, you're right. Fired for cause, no eligibility. But they don't all fight them. File anyway.
