CNN says to expect another 3.5 Mil initial jobless claims tomorrow.

That would be:
March 1-7 = 211,000 initial claims added to unemployment
March 8-14 = 280,000
March 15-21 = 3.3 Mil
March 22-28 = 6.6 Mil
March 29-April 4 = 6.6 Mil
April 5-11 = 5.3 Mil
April 12-18 = 4.4 Mil
April 19-25 =

+3.5 rumored = ~30.2 Million unemployed in the last six weeks.

I work for a bank, one of the biggest 5 in the nation. My bank gets sued quite often. We seemed to get fined more often than sued some years. Holding an officer title ([Division Officer), VP, P, EVP, C?O) has meaning. To go with the perks - sometimes very few - the title brings, it means you can be named much more easily in a lawsuit brought both by the government and any party suing the company.

The naming in lawsuits, yeah that sucks. I suppose I was referring to the peacocking that comes with that title, actual responsibility (relatively), etc.

But that's going to vary from company to company, and the smaller the company, the more it probably means.

New initial jobless claims: 3.8 Mil
Continuing claims: 17.99 Mil

Say you're VP of the Butthole Division. Stick around long enough, and you become Executive VP of Large Intestine Operations...then Sr. Executive VP of the Colon Division...and then maybe you're C-level material (usually still full of sh*t though ;)).

So here’s a cute twist... Employee A is furloughed for a number of weeks, receives unemployment benefits and a $600 weekly “COVID-19” benefit. Employee B is on a Work Share program, working 4 days of the week and receiving unemployment benefits for the one day they are off (unpaid) and a $600 weekly “COVID-19” benefit. Employee B is making more in Work Share, and Employee A... below a certain threshold income... is making more than if the were working normal hours. If they are above that threshold ($46,000?), they are making less.

From what I understand, employees are eligible for the $600 weekly “COVID-19” benefit if they lost any hours as a result of the “COVID-19” outbreak... not all of their hours, any hours.

Fascinating.

VP, VP, VP. Ever see "American Psycho"? Large businesses hand out VP titles like candy. :D

Some businesses definetly do but that doesn't prove the point you were making before.

My only point, originally, was that a VP title is worthless at a lot of big businesses, and it's nothing to really brag about.

So woody, did Rebecca give you a raise?

Better, she gave me a title
