Why I started this site.
Hello,
This site was inspired by my bad experiences with the CA Employment Development Department in 2009-2010. I work in construction and was working on an off throughout the year. It was during this time that I learned just how messed up the whole system is.
We've all known people who continuously abuse the system and have been for years. What I didn't know is that the system actually caters to these people. Once they get into the system it is so easy just to stay there and collect money. If you are like me and the tens of thousands of others out there who are actively looking to work (even if its temp or part time), or improving yourself by going to school, or starting a business, then you are in for a rude awakening.
I was on a website the other day where people where talking about their horror stories dealing with the EDD. Their stories were actually so much worse than mine; it is truly maddening. After reading their stories, I thought it would be great to have a safe, anonymous place where people can vent their frustrations and maybe share some tips on dealing with them. Share your stories here and they will appear below.
Thank you and good luck!
The resources page is now live but still under construction.Any suggestions are appreciated!
