    No, why you got fired does not in fact affect your need to eat food and house your family, so it’s not a factor.

    And if you are “laid off”, ie the company says they don’t need your job anymore, you are usually entitled to a pretty nice redundancy payment too - plus the usual.

      Really depends on the employer. One gave me a nice 3 months severance for being laid off. Another only gave me a weeks notice and only two weeks of severance. That sucked since bills continue to come in but now you gotta take a savings hit unless you can find a job in 2 weeks.

      I ended up finding another job, but it took a few months and now I’m trying to crawl out of that debt hole.
