Started watching Purdue football in the early 2000’s and my allegiance changed. Never looked back! Well....with all due respect, you've been taking some very hard "glances". Anyway, glad to have you here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IU Scott Posted June 8, 2020 Report Share Posted June 8, 2020 Just got some good news that I got my first unemployment check for this last week. My question does anyone know if I should get back pay for the other 3 weeks I put in claims for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will ask (depending on timeline) do you want retroactive vouchers filed,etc...for those weeks. I'm not in the program but I spent a couple hours last Sunday with a friend who just didn't want to bother with the whole "deal" as he called it. Self employed, real estate sales and he saw his income go to zero overnight. Filed everything for him dating back to March 9th. Just got a text that he had $4,800+ deposited on his Key Debit Card thing. He's in shock right now.....and feels like he's done something wrong now. The way I look at it. It's payback time for everyone who worked, paid their taxes,etc....for years without asking for a thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might not get it because I did receive a check for my vacation time left which was around $1000.00. I make $304.00 from the state and got the $600.00 federal a week but the federal is probably going to end by the end of July. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BGleas Posted July 2, 2020 Report Share Posted July 2, 2020 Figured I’d finally chime in on this thread. If you read the Coronavirus thread you know I lost my job at the end of May. While I’m still looking for the next gig, some good news is I have a 3rd interview tomorrow with a company and a 2nd interview Monday with another. Fingers crossed! In the meantime, I’m working on marketing consulting, and long term potentially turning it into an agency. My main thing is marketing strategy for direct-to-consumer/eCommerce small businesses and start-ups. Things like mapping out the overall strategy and executing email marketing automation, customer acquisition and retention,, campaign management, FB/IG advertising and web optimization. Below is a link to my website that I just launched if you’re interested in checking it out or know of anyone that could use my services. www.bmgdigitalco.com.

Billingsley99 Posted July 2, 2020 Report Share Posted July 2, 2020 just wanted to share my situation. Going to be lots of prayer and thought over the next couple of weeks. My boss came to me and basically said that I make too much money. I get a good salary as well as some commission and each year our sales have increased drastically. Even after being shut down for 10 weeks due to Covid and I agreed to take 50% of my weekly salary and not file unemployment and to suspend all of my commissions to help the business stay afloat he came to me with this. I asked when commissions would pick back up, if my commissions were in tact for June I should have made $12,000. (For us life changing) What I was told was that he wanted me to take a 25% pay cut and would no longer pay commissions. As a salesman, a former coach etc... numbers and competitiveness drive me. I have always believed that the harder I work the better i can make my situation for my team or in sales for my business and my family. He has now put me in a box with a ceiling and I don't like that. I am not wired that way. As of this past Monday I have lots of praying and soul searching to do and also asking for God to help me with my tongue so I don't tell him to shove it in a very uncomfortable location.
