Day 15 Update

I had a conversation with my former boss, it was a good conversation, one thing he brought up was that some of my former co-workers are reading my blog. This isn't surprising to me, I thought that this might be the case, however my blog entry from yesterday came to his attention. I have tried hard in my posts to not bad mouth my former company and I want to continue this, because I truly hold no grudges against my former company. True I may have some frustrations but no real grudges.

So in the interest of being fair, I'm going to post a response to yesterdays post...well a pseudo response, they didn't write this, this is coming from what I discussed with my former boss. I'm told that what the State employee who I spoke with yesterday on the phone told me may not be entirely true. I was lead to believe that my former company was required or obligated to return the questionnaire that they were sent; but the company is saying that they are not, it is completely optional, and that they really only should fill it out if they disagree with my answers. They say that if they fill out the form and return it, often it can further delay my getting my UI benefits, so because of that, they (as a policy) don't complete the form unless they disagree with the information provided.

I don't know who is right, or if there are shades of truth in both statements. The information I am receiving appears to be at odds.

I am going to give my former employers the benefit of the doubt and assume that no malice was intended, and that in fact they were trying to make my getting UI benefits as simple and quick as possible.

If the former co-worker who brought the post up to my former co-workers would be so kind as to let them know about this update, I'd appreciate it.
