Great plan! You can live off government subsidies - Social Security, Medicare, NJ welfare - while simultaneously complaining about socialists and free handouts ruining our country. I know, I know, you paid in and are entitled.

These people are indoor cats. They waltz around all high and mighty acting like they'd be an Apex predator of left alone in the wild, completely ignoring the fact that someone else is scooping their litter box and putting food and water on their bowl.

And after spending decades watching their predecessors “retire”, when it’s their turn they want to pretend someone is “firing” them.
If you can fancy yourself a victim, it allows you to rationalize all sorts of behaviors to fit your newly arrived upon agenda.

What's sad is seeing some of the replies how they feel hopeless and a failure to their family friends and society. Maybe stop making this job your life and thinking you are mightier than you actually are. The FB EPAS page is a great insight into the type of people we should strive never to become, arrogant and ignorant basing our job around our life and our life around our job.

The sad irony of all the "suck it up, buttercup", " facts don't care about your feelings" and "pull yourself up by your bootstraps". They love to shout it but they never seem to apply it to themselves. Personal responsibility and ownership for thee, but not for me

Sadly, some of these guys are serious about unemployment. I saw this discussed on another forum and crazy enough someone mentioned it won't work....because they actually tried. Some people just have no shame and are clearly detached from the reality of this world. Hopefully they had a chance to sit in the lobby next to some people who have no idea if there kids will have a place to lay their heads next month after getting let go from their $15/hr job. Probably not the best time to open up your retirement account app that has 5-20x+ the cash in it than the average American has at age 65.
The Median retirement savings is probably less than many of these guys made in the last few months of work.

FWIW, no one is getting “essentially fired”. Thats loaded language. The mandatory age has always been in effect for every single person here. We have all known about it from day 1. Some here even got 5 additional years already from what they expected.
At most, they are getting laid off.

Unemployment is not.
You were not fired therefore not eligible for unemployment.
You may think you were, but reality is different. Stop looking to abuse the system.
