About me (Chris) and this website

My name is Chris and I'm the only one that works here at Unemployment-tips.com

Meaning, I don't have any employees.

Not that I don't think I could use a few.. But to be honest, I understand why an employer has a right to have expectations of an employee and why some employees turn out to be costly business choices.

Employers pay the wage and that entitles an employer to expect the best we have to offer .. as long as the expectation are reasonable.

The fact that the information here about unemployment is presented from the perspective of what an employee must consider isn't because I think all employers are bad.

In fact, I couldn't have been a hearing coordinator if I had believed that.

Nope, for me, it really was true .. the bad apples spoiled the whole barrel. But mostly, it all boiled down to my own inability as a good employee, to make the choice, to ignore the bad apples.

Employers have for a long time, been developing some very effective strategies to win unemployment hearings. I doubt the strategies were developed with that intention in mind, but those strategies are still very effective for the purposes for unemployment appeal hearings.

Although smart, these same strategies undoubtedly, create collateral damage when applied in a blanket sort of way across the board which is necessary to uniformly enforce all those rules and policies in an employee handbook.

I get it, but I'm a warm-blooded person, not a business minded entity able to disregard the greater good in favor of the bottom line every single time. So no employees for me .. thank you very much.

And I haven't yet gotten around to explaining how the bad apples did me in as far as being willing to be an employee for the rest of my days.

Employers using immoral deceitful practices to deny benefits come in two flavors. They are either flat out arrogant and stupid or they are just arrogant using far more refined methods than the bumblers of bad employees or employers.

Bumblers only think they might get away with lying, cheating and even stealing to deny or obtain benefits.

All I've ever wanted to do with this website is to avoid this type and give myself the ability to choose who I help.

Funny thing is .. those that ask questions about getting unemployment benefits include some bumblers with unbelievable big tales to go along with their question ..

Still, they only get information offered from the perspective they told the truth and just don't get that that .. is the only way to go in my opinion, no matter which perspective your coming at the benefits from.

The Personal

I'm married to a man that keeps me laughing .. and occasionally not when we differ on opinion, but that's to be expected when you're committed to each other.

Due to recent health issues, my mother-in-law, has been moved to a nursing home. Up until last month, I was her primary caregiver.

I begin each day with one hope .. that I'll do no harm to anyone and to try to end each day as a good one. This always happens when I know I not only didn't harm anyone, but did my best to help as much as I can.

However, if that were the extent of my approach to living I'd probably bore people to death.

I'm a fairly animated talker when I'm passionate about a subject. Otherwise, I think I listen well and can find common grounds with all sorts of people.

Basically, I like people and even though I'm quite aware of how weak we all are .. I try to see beyond to what is redeeming about us.

This was at the heart of my very attempt to think I could be more than an employee.

I formed the plan, just so I could see beyond to what could be redeeming for the harm I allowed to happen in my former job.

Think deeply, think objectively, but don't forget the value of feeling your way.
