When volume and workload go down your "value" doesn't matter. The company cannot bill a client for your "value" if they do not have a PO for the work.
This happened to a buddy of mine. He was laid off from a good paying job. You know what he did? He went get a job at costco. He wasn't too proud, and didn't wait for the government. That is what these lazy fricks need to do.

So once you exhaust the state yearly benefit (takes 25 weeks) then you no longer qualify for ANY federal, NOT ONE DIME. No matter what JBE or Biden says, thats it. No more state OR FEDERAL that year.
Even when fed stimulus was at its max ($600 per week in LA) that is only $847 x 25 weeks which is $21,175 for a year. THAT IS NOT $60k a year.
You are wrong and an idiot.
Now, know it all fricker,

Not true in consulting. Can't bill for work you don't have.
Sounds like you suck at consulting? Get better.

2022 tax filing will be a rude awakening for those not prepared. Inflation by that time will be a M’frickr.

brother your situation is unfortunate and i truly am sympathetic to the unfortunate luck you’ve had, but i am not convinced the majority of those who have gone on unemployment in louisiana are facing similar circumstances.
i’d also like to say, as someone with a family. there is no job i wouldn’t do or lower myself to work to earn an income to support them. i can’t imagine throwing out excuses like that

So they lay off 100% of their employees?
No layoffs start at the top and go down.
Higher rate employees are cut first when there is lack of work. It's not that complicated.

Thanks man but I am doing just fine. I am close enough to the end of my career I could semi-retire if I wanted to.
There are plenty of freeloaders out there for sure. But there are also plenty of people who are jobless through no fault of their own and the market they are in is fricked sideways.
This government holding on to COVID fear like grim death doesn't help at all. And an administration that touts "green jobs" that do not exist while trying to destroy an entire industry (O&G) at the same time.

Get bent. Consulting volume is driven by market conditions.
Oil, gas, and chemical companies are in the commodities business. When volume goes down and there is market uncertainty, they cut spending on future expansion.

It also not accurate for the vast majority of companies

You are wrong. In LA, you have to qualify for at least $0.01 of state benefit in one week to qualify for any federal stimulus that week.
Once your state yearly benefit is exhausted you are done for that year and the claim is closed until one year from the day you first filed.
CARES act did not supplement or change the state benefit amount allowed per year.
Go look it up yourself.

Yep - people have to go back to work when the unemployment benefits cease - conveniently at the time where there is a spike in cases with a ‘new’ variant
If shut downs, mask mandates, and/or mandatory vaccinations are postponed for a while - there will be more people sick (supposedly) because they had to go back to work and then mommy government will step in - shut things down and pay people to stay home again
Bookmarked as Prophetic.

I don't know how it reads on paper but I do know someone in my family has gotten it the entire time. Way longer than 26 weeks. And I asked her how and she told me she reapplied because the Feds were covering it. So idk where the money is coming from but it has been coming for more than 26 weeks.
Quick Google search shows under PUA the benefits were extended to 79 weeks

I think there was a time that happened but it ended in March of 2021 I believe.
I think your previous year W-2 wages played into the monetary determination also.

Eta: it did not end in March 2021. It ended yesterday, which is what this thread is about.
