Leak data, destroy infrastructure, expose wrongdoings. anything?

Is it just me, or shouldn't these people be made to fear the consequences of their actions. How many of you have it in your power to hit your employer where it hurts?

Generally, if you are fired for violating a company rule, you cannot collect unemployment. I suppose that applies to rules that they just established as well as rules that are longstanding. You can also be fired for not doing any number of things, usually your job, and that's considered a cause, so you wouldn't be able to collect unemployment in that case, either. I guess the only time you can collect unemployment is if your company explicitly says they are downsizing and "lays people off" with no "cause."

I guess there's upsides and downsides to at-will employment. I've always like it, thus far, cuz there are a lot more shitty employees (and shitty employers for that matter) than there are people that willfully violate rules, and you need to be able to cut the retards if you can't afford to carry around a bunch of dead weight, like most small businesses can't.

If you take temporary jobs you can permanently stay on unemployment between gigs.

Its what actors in holllywood do.

You are allowed to collect unemployment while you work temporarily?

You must have a period of work time and total income that meets guidelines. As long as you had that then when they are in between jobs they can draw unemployment based on those earnings. Since many acting jobs only last a few days on set and it might be days before actors get another they can draw unemployment during the down days.

This. Or, if you're not smart enough to have a paper trail of violations to prove the cause. The first time an employee was fired under my business, I had to submit the written warning with employee signature, copy of the employee handbook the employee signed and proof that the employee continued to violate the policy after the written warning.

In my opinion, everyone should be able to collect unemployment, if anyone can. If a business needs to downsize, then they're still going to cut the the 10% of people they can get away with cutting, whether the low performing or just unluckily recently hired. I don't see any reason to deny it to people that "quit" or those that were fired for cause. It's all a spectrum. Just have a hard limit on how long unemployment lasts and let everyone take it to the extent they paid in. Making the businesses pay for employment is stupid as shit. Only California could think of something that retarded.

Yeah, I can agree with that. The way it works in my state, unemployment that is collected skyrockets the UI all businesses with employees have to carry, which would lower the ability for a small business to give raises and bonuses. I'd rather be able to compensate those who work what they're worth rather than pay for someone who cannot do their job.
