Feeling stressed (kinda long sorry)...

Ok so here's a long story kinda shortened up...

...I'm going on vacation from Friday till next Friday and my boss wouldn't allow me to take an extra day of vacation for this Friday (w/o pay) so I said I would do comp time (work extra hours instead to cover the difference). He didn't like that either so he said he expects me here on Friday. I told him my flight was booked already...then he said well if you aren't here then don't bother coming back. I said well then I'm sorry that's the way it's going to have to be. So basically he was making thursday my last day. Well honestly I need to have a job by the time I come back from Florida so when the heck am I going to have time to interview and get another job? So I told him today that today will be my last day instead because being I have no chioce and no time to get another job. He asked me for my letter of resignation. I had no idea what that was so I asked the other girl I worked with to help me write my letter of resignation. Now when I got home and told FH he said that I just waived all my rights to get unemployment just incase I can't find a job Now I'm so scared that I won't get a job soon and I won't have enough money to pay for my basic things. He was the one who told me thursday would be my last day if I took Friday off also so I was basically given no choice but to leave, I told him everything is booked I can't afford to change flights and the wedding is Saturday in the morning?!?! Is there any way around the resignation letter if I can't find a job???? I'm honestly kind of scared

ETA: Ya know, all those people that think ALL LI girls are stuck up b*tches need to come on here because I honestly don't think I've met nicer girls from LI than all you guys I've met on here.

OK first of all...what's his friggin problem? Seriously...what an ***!

Second of all, what do you do...I can help you find a new job. Waiving your rights to unemployment is not that big of a deal. Its more of a hassel to file for unemployment than its worth. You're only going to get like a $100/week (depending on how much you make now)...which is jack...and you have to prove your looking for work anyway. To be honest...by the time unemployment comes through you would have found another job already.

The only thing you should be concerned about is losing your medical benefits. Read your employee handbook and find out their protocol for these things...he may be exceeding his abilities as an employer in demanding your resignation...it epends on the contract you signed...either way i'll help you find something else. Good luck honey...that *****...waht a piece of DOO DOO!!!

Honestly I wouldn't worry about the unemployment, by the time you get it you will def have a job. It can take up to two months to kick in. If I can help you in anyway find a job, please let me know!!! I hope everything works out for you

p.s. what an *** that guy is!!!

Absolutely... we're here for you! I'm waste deep in newspapers every day (part of the job... advertising, not as glamorous as I'd like it to be), so let us know what you're looking for and I'll keep my eyes out. You have FM

wow thats really upsetting, There are alot of ways to get unemployment, basically your boss has to approve it when they send him the letter. He just has to check off a box to approve you and send it back to them...It takes 3-4 weeks to get that first check. The easiest way to apply is online. You can say that you were forced to leave because they refused to give you a nonpaid day off and told you not to come in again. Technically he fired you. I think you have a case, i would go on the NY unemployment website asap, and try to get it just in case.

Craigslist has alot of jobs, have you tried looking there?

Oh Melissa, what a jerk-off! Don't even think about unemployment! Chin-up, you're going on vacation - DO NOT let this bring you down or affect your vacay in any way, shape, or form!!! You totally have us to scour job positions for you while you're away. Post your resume!!! We'll have 40 interviews lined up for you for when you come back. Have no fear, LI-dub (copyright KimAMalone) is here!!!

Don't even let this get you down!! Have an awesome time on your vacation!

You guys are honestly so great

I'm a secretary (well I was ), I know an administration job is pretty easy to find but I was in a pretty decent position with decent pay...but I'm honestly not sure this is what I want to do for the rest of my life...I hate being in an office 24/7 it's just not me. It just ***** because I went to college at nassau but didn't graduate and I feel like a degree/diploma is what holds me back from getting a 'good' job but who has the time/money for school. I don't have a specific field that I want to be in or even a specific job I want to do...I guess I'm still trying to find my niche (well other than dancing). I wish it was in September that this happened because at least I could have taken on more dance classes

I'm just really confused and even a little depressed right now

oh dont be sad you'll find something and theres a new semester of school starting in Jan and they didnt even start registration yet i believe that everything happens for a reason so maybe you should take this as a sign you should go back and finish up ur degree!! :) go to Nassau they always have jobs posted and they are usually good ones!! :) i wish i would have known i just left my job as a secretary and the new girl i was training *****!! shes 16 and doesnt know her a$$ from her elbow as my dad would say!... chin-up have a good vacation and dont worry about finding a job there are plenty out there!

Everything happens for a reason! You just have to keep your chin up and know that not only will you get through this and find yourself in a much better place but you'll be stronger for it! We're here for you!

I'll keep my ears and eyes open for you!

Keep your head up everything will all work out in the end!!!!!

It'll be okay Melissa!!!

You've got FM!

aw Im soooo sorry...your boss sounds like a real *******. If it makes you feel any better I'm hating my job right now and want to find another. I work with the mentally ill and of course we DONT GET THE HOLIDAYS OFF! I requested off the week of Christmas (mind you in mid september)...because i'm going to visit with family. He had the nerve to tell me that he can't look that far in advance and doesn't know if he could honor my time off request!! I gave him over 3 friggen months notice ...im fed up i really am
Don't worry you'll find a job..but unfortunately i hear 6 months is average time it takes..try careerbuilder.com..they're a pretty good option
