Unemployment

10-11-2009

"Unemployment, it's a tough thing. Even if you get a job after you've been unemployed, they take unemployment out of your check every week and show it to you in that little box. How good can it be for your confidence that every paycheck you get has the word unemployment on it? You can't get it out of your mind! You just got the job! They're already getting ready for you to be laid off.
I have a friend who's unemployed. He's collecting unemployment insurance. This guy has never worked this hard in his life to keep this thing going. He's down there every week waiting on the lines and getting interviewed and making all these lies about looking for jobs. If they had any idea the effort and energy that he's expending to avoid work, I'm sure they'd give him a raise. I'm sure of it.The guy's doing a tremendous job... not working."
