I was fired from my job because they lied about it being a full-time position. They said they tried posting the job as part-time but couldn't find good candidates, so they decided to pull a bait and switch and lie that it was full-time. And they said it to me like they did absolutely nothing wrong. The worst part it was the State government, and they have a one year probation period, so they had the right to fire me for any reason since I was still on probation.

I honestly don't think I will be able to recover from this. I have already started skipping my medication so that it will last longer.

Did you get a job offer letter outlining the position, salary, start date, etc? So confused how this is possible.

Yep, everything was written up to be full-time, but in state government, you have to go through a whole year of probation where they can fire you for literally anything. They stated I was fired because I was too nice to individuals, and creating an equitable creative process took too much decision-making power away from leadership. It's 100% trumped-up charges so that they could get HR on their side. Even then, the Head of HR apologized and said I did nothing wrong in her eyes as she walked me out of the building. And this was after I helped them run the best Convention they have ever put on and helped raise the most money they ever raised for the state charity program by me creating an extremely well-received gameshow for the fundraiser event. I met and exceeded every expectation and was still fired.

I didn't know until after I was fired that the leadership has been having issues with work processes for a long time with the various programs and teams. My trying to create a creative process that shared power and leaned on multiple perspectives was seen as a threat to their control.

Apply for Medicaid and you can get your meds for free. I am on it after being laid off in Feb. My inhalers and breo are free and without coverage the breo is $1100 a month. You usually get your cards within 10 days.

Do I have to be with the job for a certain period to be able to apply? are there any limitations? I will absolutely look into this! Thank you.

No just unemployed. Also unemployment would go back to the last qualifying employer and not VA Gov so file for unemployment. Did a 3 month stint in 2020 and collected from the prior employer of 6 years. It is the income during qualifying quarters.

If you can go out to the Warsaw VEC office and see Cheryl. 487 Main St. Warsaw. The online filing is a pain and makes errors. It is 30 mins from where I live. Mon Wed and Thurs 8:30 -. 4:00 with very few people there to wait behind.
