Finally a thread that's not about getting a boyfriend or girlfriend.
My boss just texted me saying that my position at work no longer exists, therefore I no longer need to come in.
So basically I just got laid off? What do I do?
I have already started multiple applications, but should I try for unemployment or what? I think it's pretty shitty of someone to lay you off on Monday morning THROUGH A TEXT an hour before you head to work. I have no money and now I have no money coming in either. Whyyyyy I was doing good, being responsible, had a full-time job I actually ENJOYED. whyyyyyyyyyy

Holy fuck that sucks a huge duck. Sorry OP. Yeah, unemployment and new job is the next thing to do. What was your position? Did you text or call back asking for a proper explanation as to what happened?

What was your job?

I haven't responded because I'm not sure what to say. I don't want to be rude even though I really should.
I'm... I was? a prep cook, although I was doing the sort of things an assistant manager would do, as well.
I've never even thought about unemployment before. I tried looking it up through my States website but it's confusing as fuck. I'm sure I can figure it out, though.

Considering they texted you they may not even respond if you ask for clarification. Keep the text they sent saved just in case you need it. I would look for another job in the same field if you enjoined it.
The unemployment stuff is annoying from what I've heard. There may be qualifications like a 3 month working period or something. I would see if there is a number you can call to talk to someone about your situation and getting unemployment.

Thank you.
The biggest problem is that I'm very anxious and I loved the job but I also could tolerate the people without mentally collapsing.

So you have proof in case you use them for a reference and they try to say you were fired.
This is what happens when unions are weak.
