When You’re Out of Work
One of my friends just got laid off about 2 weeks ago and he still hasn’t tried to find a job yet. I guess since he was at the company for 13 years he figured he needed a little bit of a break. So now he is not working and just decided that he would spend a few weeks relaxing. I don’t know how I feel about this. On one hand he is right that he has been working hard for a long time. On the other hand he is just expecting to collect unemployment for as long as he can and then he is going to think about finding a job.
The question I have is that I don’t understand if our government does too much for people or not enough. You always hear that those who need assistance are not getting what they need. Then on the other hand there are those that are fully capable of working who get assistance because they don’t want to work.
