It depends on where you live and how the system there is set up. Where I lived before... it's not hard to collect unemployment for the first couple months (at the very least, the first month), after that you have to prove you're trying to find a job, and then after about 4 to 5 months they start cutting off benefits. It just depends on the company, and the laws where you are..
And unless you were fired for theft or I think lying...It's not hard to collect unemployment either. Getting fired makes it a lot easier
-It ALL depends on the company you were working for, and if they're going to fight your unemployment claim.
That said, a lot of companies will do their best to not have to pay unemployment benefits by making you quit first.
It doesn't happen
often that people abuse the system like that, but it does happen
sometimes, and it's still wrong to abuse the system.
