Two of our young AP abruptly turned in their voluntary separation forms this week. I think the APM tipped them off to find new jobs, since they were all drinking buddies outside of work. Both were seriously underpaid and all of a sudden claimed new jobs after being very steady with Sears.

They keep promising us risk levels and budgets will be out soon, lets all hope they are realistic and don't down play the risk of a location to save a dollar
New risk levels will be put out soon. Good luck to everyone.
Unemployment isn't a gravy train. It's not going to replace what you make working full time. I'd far rather move to a new job without a gap than take unemployment (but I was very grateful that it was there when I needed it...it was maybe 1/2 what I'd been making prior to being laid off)
Not everyone wants unemployment. Some smart people don't want gaps in their employment history.
Why would anyone give up the chance at unemployment. If they knew for sure that their jobs would be unlimited soon why would they just leave, unless they got a better job offer.
Do you happen to know what risk level you are? I heard that low risk levels and P2P stores will have drastic reductions. I'm sure all others will have something, since they extended store hours in 4th qtr and reduced AP coverage by 15%.
