WTF, National Census?

[gwendolyngrace]

I just received a notice of termination from the Census. Their reason? Lack of work.

Hello? You never SCHEDULED me to work, you fuckwits! How am I supposed to report for work if you never TELL me when you want me to come in?

I mean. Okay. The job was shit. But it would have been a little tiny bit of income. It might have helped extend my unemployment benefits a couple weeks here and there. And plus? I've never been "terminated" from a job in my life. Bastards.


On the bright side, my landlord just brought up the A/C unit!! So I will have a cooled-off bedroom by bedtime! W00T.

Yep -- "lack of work" means lack of stuff to give you to work on, on their part. Very different from "no show, no call, no job," which would be an attendance issue. So if you actually made it onto their payroll in terms of completing all the HR paperwork, you might still theoretically be able to claim it for unemployment.
