Today, I realized that my father's weekly unemployment check is more than my bi-weekly pay check. My full time job pays less than my father's unemployment. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, when I checked on my last payroll, I realized that I pay more in taxes than I do in house bills. FML
Today, I realized that I spend more money on gas to go to my job than what I get paid. FML
Today, I found out that I was denied for work study eligibility by my college. I went to my financial advisor to ask why. It wasn't my grades or attendance. Apparently my father makes too much money for me to get a job at the school. My dad was fired 3 months ago and has been out of work since. FML
Today, my boss bragged to a coworker, in front of me, about how much money he saved on a project because he majorly underpays me. My boss is my dad. FML
Today, after years of waiting, my mom and I finally received a check from Child Support Services. Excited, I opened it up to find a check from my dad, written out for 45 cents. Which pays for maybe half a loaf of bread. FML
Today, my father's company shut down his branch, leaving him without a job. This is followed by a letter from my school's financial aid office, saying I'm not getting a penny because my family's income level is too high. FML
Today, I get to stand in the unemployment line for the second time in a year because my company can't pay me. My parents own the company. FML
Today, I excitedly went to check this week's paycheck, only to see that I only received $9.00. This isn't a mistake, this is really what I make. FML
Today, nearly Christmas, my dad got mad because I don't have enough money for holiday festivities. I can't afford things because I haven't gotten my paycheck yet. I work for my dad. FML
Today, I found out I'm getting a pay cut, a week after I told my boss I need a raise or second job just to afford bills. I made the company 10k last week. FML

Well duh! He make several times more then you did before becoming unemployed. Now he's just making "more" than you. From you statement, I'm guessing it's less than twice yours.

agreed with #8 and 17 and everyone else who might have commented on it, but from my understanding, unemployment checks are based on how much the unemployed was making while they were employed to supplement the loss of income... so not really sure why it's a **** my life when it's how the system works unless you're working a corporate job and he was making less money when he was employed as you are now, but i highly doubt that's the case. and i seriously wonder what other people had to put to get moderated...

Unemployment checks are based on what you made when you were employed - at my factory the people who make the most money are the first to volunteer for layoffs because of the way the overtime seasonal work is set up, they make more money when laid off than they do when working

your dad is part of one of the biggest problems in this country. People that actually earn their money like you and i have to support people like your dad. IT IS OUTRAGEOUS!!!

Unemployment bases its checks off of how much he made when he had a job, stop complaining.
