- It's probably just an annual increase in everyone's benefits. - Cuzzin Todd Mar 10, 17:47
- Just because our jobs don't anymore... - TFox Mar 10, 17:27 5
  - I got annual raises with Fedex, but I think their justification is that the cost of living has gone up. -- nm - Stacy Mar 10, 17:30 4
    - Oh, I know. I'm just saying, they cancelled all our annual raises at my company, lots of others too. -- nm - TFox Mar 10, 17:33 3

    - yes you pay into unemplyment and then get credited the money back in an account when you become unemplyed and they dish it out weekly to you. -- nm - Stacy Mar 10, 17:23 8
      - Maybe California is different, but I thought unemployers paid into the unemployment tax, not that employees did? - ty97 Mar 10, 17:25 7
        
        I'm not sure how it is listed but they told me what my credit was based on my salary of the last year, since I was on disablity part of that time I'm - Stacy Mar 10, 17:28
