Correction to my last post... I've gone on partial unemployment because my employer can't afford to pay me what I'm worth. I missed a few hours of work two weeks ago because of Memorial Day, which caused some kind of snafu relating to how much they're willing to pay me for the week. I had to call to speak to a claims representative in order to iron out the details.
It took me 33 calls before I could even be placed on hold. Their system is so overburdened with claimants they don't even have room in the queue for everyone trying to call in. It took me 15 minutes on hold to find out that they don't have an answer for me, and that someone will call me back in a few days.
I'm still looking for a new job, this time in Seattle.
