Oh Boo Hoo Hoo fuck those Bipolar idiots.
In the meantime if you show up for an interview and been out of work for 3 or 4 months, because you decided to take a break.
They use it against you somehow. They judge for every petty stupid thing. It's good they are getting a taste of their own medicine.
I'm working and have been for near 5 years straight. But my next job will be found by me knocking on doors with my resume in hand.
I'll never suffer the indignity of a recruiter ever again. I know two guys that has been out of work for over 6 months now. The recruiters ghost the fuck out of them, they give them shit for the lapse in employment. They keep them hanging on for 3 weeks promising them, they were the top candidate. Then after 3 weeks tells them a bunch of petty faults the potential employer didn't like from the initial interview. I keep telling one of the guys to go knock on doors. But he keeps putting his hopes into these SJW recruiters.

I'd advocate a mandatory period the employer as well the employee haI thought it was 60 days mandatory, but maybe just in Texas. The employer would usually just make it up in a severance check. In June, '05, my super at Cigna Health Care in Carrollton, where I'd worked as full-time since '03, called me in for a conference. Since I had the opportunity I told her my plans of selling my home in Dallas and moving back to Waco and the realtor was already showing my place, so she'd have a heads up. She told me not to tell anyone and that she wasn't supposed to be telling me this in advance, but said there were planned lay-offs and I was one of the candidates to go. She didn't want me to quit, then two weeks later I would have been laid off which would have made me eligible for a small severance and qualify for unemployment. For the next couple of weeks she'd say it would be this day or that, then it would pass. Finally she said for sure June 13--at 9:30 that morning she called me into the conference room with her and the HR rep and was told the "bad" news. I acted shocked and surprised, but said that was fine. My super even wanted me to come back the next day and edit some more letters in the queue, but I said well since this has happened I'll go ahead and leave. I ate my lunch and left at 1:30--when I got home there was a call on my answering machine from my realtor saying he had an offer. I called him back and told him to take it. Got a nice little severance and ran my unemployment out once I got to Waco. A lady my age was also terminated, but she had been there 15 years and could retire. The next week I went back and they gave us a real nice going away party.

To some extent, employees are giving employers a taste of their own medicine. During and after the Great Recession of 2007 to 2009, when unemployment reached 10 percent, many firms ignored job applicants and never followed up after interviews.
“Candidates were very frustrated because they felt employers were ghosting on them,” Fay says. ”

Honestly, I hate this type of behavior and it’s both cowardly and unprofessional, as well as being unproductive. It wasn’t right for employers to do this and it’s not right for workers to do it either. Even if you’ve already accepted another job, but have a previous offer on the table, being up front about it might just increase your chances of a better deal. If employers know they are in a competition, they know that you’re a valuable commodity and may sweeten the pot.
