Re: Being Laid Off - Unemployment Benefits

Hi all

This is just a tidbit of surprising information I discovered when I went 
through the process in 2004. I was utterly shocked to learn that 
Unemployement benefits aren't paid in order to benefit and help sustain the 
individual. Instead, they are paid on the basis that they benefit the 
economy as a whole, by providing a means for the general overall flow to 
continue. The viewpoint is to help sustain the foundation of economy. Not to 
sustain the affected individual.

I'm not sure which surprised me more. That little discovery or the one about 
why employers frown on the employee looking at porn sites on the job. In 
this case, one would naturally conclude that it's simply wrong from the 
standpoint of the employee wasting time and resources that are intended to 
further the bottom line of the company. But I read somewhere that the 
fundamental reason is the fear that other employees will see the computer 
screens of those misbehaving, become offended and file lawsuits accordingly.

Strange society we live in...
