Time for a follow-up text to request your record of employment and to file for unemployment insurance due to layoff. If they contest it, you'll have this screenshot as evidence.

When its a legitimate layoff, I don't panic anymore. I learned from covid. Unemployment isn't bad. I see it as a vacation from work. During that time, I enjoyed not working after many years of working very hard.

I work 2 jobs now and I miss it sometimes. I have a full-time job thats very stable and a part of a union. I cant stand working for private sectors anymore because they can fire you for any reason very easily

I'll forever be pissed off that I did not lose my job during covid smfh I hope the next global emergency allows me to collect fat checks from the government while I sit at home for 6+ months. I'm patiently waiting for my turn.
