Ditto pp- file for UE immediately. If he was fired for cause though, they will probably fight it. Just mentally prepare if that is the case. The company does have to actively pursue it, and even if he WAS fired for cause....file for UE just in case the company doesn't fight it.
In the meantime...can he apply places like Starbucks and Costco, where employees have access to health insurance? It might be cheaper than ACA.
Is that not a normal reaction? I would be supportive but if my husband got fired for a performance issue (as opposed to being laid off), but anger would definitely be one of my emotions.

Man, that sucks. Especially since you don't have insurance. Hopefully he can find something soon, and you guys can figure out insurance without too much extra cost.
Why was he fired- do you think they will fight unemployment?

Not a normal reaction to me.
My husband has both been fired and laid off during our relationship. I can tell you that my reaction was vastly different to each situation.

My H was transferred because of a mistake he made. Lack of training/lack of thinking on his part made the client so mad they insisted he be fired. Instead his boss transferred him so they could tell the client "he is no longer with us".
I went back and forth between feeling very angry with H (why didn't you demand more training?! Why didn't you THINK about the repurcussions?!, and feeling like he was the victim.
So jenny1980, I get where you are coming from. Anger is an okay reaction. You feel about this however you need to, Betty. {{hugs}}

I know this is frustrating, but you guys will be ok, financially right? In the meantime, to conserve money, can he take care of the baby instead of the au pair?
Nope. He was fired, not laid off. We get insurance for the next 60 days.
Ughhhhhhh. Does he qualify for UE? File right away because it can take some time. You can get cobra coverage, right?
Are you ready to kill him? I would be so livid even while trying to be supportive. Big huge zombie hugs. (hug) (hug2)
We're figuring that out now. I don't know how his termination is being labeled, he's unsure now as well. We contacted HR so we'll see what they say and if he qualifies for unemployment.
I feel anger and frustration at the situation, not at H directly.
I do feel anger at him at the moment bc his company is being weird at giving a reason and I'm frustrated he didn't push more when speaking to his boss earlier. I want closure, but I get that he went numb.
I don't think it's surprising that critical situations like this inspire a variety of different emotions in people that are all normal and acceptable (within a range, obviously).
I have my fingers crossed that things work out for you all quickly.
Fuck. I'm really sorry. My H is in a scary position at work right now as well and I am terrified he may be fired. Lots of good luck vibes being sent his way!
