severance and unemployment payments in Texas

What's the deal with the recent changes in the package that result in the loss of unemployment insurance across all 50 states? In the past, there was some confusion surrounding whether receiving "pay in-lieu of notice," like the initial 60-days pay, would affect immediate eligibility for unemployment insurance or require a waiting period in North Carolina (NC). However, based on my knowledge, when I filed my claim and others I know at NC Cisco did the same, the claims were only delayed for the standard 2-week waiting period that applies to all unemployment insurance claims. As far as I know, every NC Cisco employee who filed for unemployment insurance immediately started receiving checks after the 2-week period.

What's the longest stretch you've endured without a raise?

If you find yourself in a situation where you've met expectations and haven't received a pay raise for an extended period, it's crucial to take action. Consider having a conversation with upper management to present your case and advocate for a pay raise. In some cases, managers may lack the necessary skills to effectively present your work or conduct unbiased performance reviews. If your efforts to address the issue directly with management prove unfruitful, you can escalate the matter by raising a case with HR. It's reasonable to expect that your salary should at least be adjusted for inflation or market standards after 5-6 years without a raise. Taking these steps can help ensure your efforts to be appropriately compensated are recognized and addressed.
