It seems ironic in this economy, and with a high unemployment rate, that anyone would want advice about getting kicked from a job. But last week a question was posed to me, and it was genuine — “How do I get laid off?” Here is some advice to follow, and even more advice to avoid.

If you've recently lost your job due to the shaky economy, and you've filed for unemployment benefits, you might be surprised when your former employer attempts to block your unemployment by saying that you were fired. Well, be prepared for the possibility - plenty of companies are challenging laid-off employees rights to benefits in order to save money on unemployment insurance.

digg_url = 'http://www.wisebread.com/you-re-fired-20-signs-that-a-pink-slip-is-coming'; There are two types of employee. One has a good idea of what they do, who they are and what position they play in the company. They are savvy. They know the score. They are under no delusions, and will no doubt leave for another job long before they are ever considered as cannon-fodder.And then there’s the other kind. The guy who could get Gandhi to hate him. The woman who spends most of her day chatting on the phone to friends or doing online shopping. Or the nice chap in sales who is completely oblivious that the recent merger means his job is now obsolete. They all have Ostrich Syndrome. They couldn’t see a pink slip coming if it was 8ft tall and glowing in the dark, screaming “you’re fired!”Have more to say? Join the discussions at Wise Bread's Finance and Frugality Forums.
