:thumbsup: Instigator... you could be (click that>>>) http://www.classadrivers.com/forum/c...ver-world.html

New York has a 7.9% unemployment rate, Florida has a 10.3%. The higher the rate, the more people looking for jobs, the more the ability of employers to just toss people out the door if they screw up even a little. Florida is a "Right to Work" state. New York is not. In Florida, and other right to work states, you can be fired for any reason at any time without any justification, or any remedy for the worker to argue the firing before any kind of adjudicator. Frankly, you have no rights in Florida.

You seem to have a nostalgia for working in New York. Unless things tanked there too, I'd go back because workers are treated better in non-right to work states. The right to work states tend to be what are also called "red states" and often have lower standards of living for their people (Not all the time, this is not a political comment).

Many of these posters are correct. If you are an argumentative person, then working in a "right to work" state where you can be targeted and fired for any cause is a bad idea.

Just my 2 cents worth.

true to a cetain extent, you can fire someone without cause, however they can still file for unemployment rights.
Right to work states like Florida still have to follow federal law and can not fire based on race, creed, religion, Sexual orientation..

Yeah, I looked at that too. I had about 7 jobs in my whole career. "Job-hopping" won't help him either.

I've never been fired before....
but then, I've never been a Band Teacher. http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l2...on_redface.gif http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l2...0/icon_lol.gif

No, but they can fire you for just about any other reasons, including but not limited to: they don’t like your work ethic, they can’t afford you, even if they don’t like the color of your socks. Whether or not you can get unemployment might be a different story.

This is true. How to Prove that is another thing. The employee has the burden of proof.

I assume that Instigator was not fired because of any of the protected reasons. He was probably seen as more trouble than he was worth by the powers that be.

I would just file for unemployment and move on.

Just wondering about this statement Instigator, do you mean that the company wanted you to drive slow or they were over working you and expecting you to drive above and beyond the limit?

Ya disappointed me. I was expecting to see pics of the "PLAYBOY BOOTS AND SADDLE CLUB"......
