Terminated while looking for a part time job on my lunchbreak

I was on lunch break and looking for a part time job due to being strapped for cash. My supervisor sat at my desk, checked my emails and found out I was seeking part time employment. I was terminated, and unemployment was denied due to be signing the computer usage policy upon being employed there. I had another job in less than 6weeks. If a person is terminated, be persistent in your job search, and do temp work while looking, cause temp services pay weekly, and labor services pay daily

Check behind yourself and make sure they have no way of coming back to you later to hold you financially responsible for using their computer to look for work even though you were in a desperate situation. They don't sound very compassionate.

I'm confused, you used thier computer to search a personal matter? If so, they got every right to can you. If not then sue for wrongfully termination. If not for u for the next poor soul.

I loved my job and was terminated & they had me sign a paper saying I resigned. I thought that they were doing that to help me. That made me have to fight for 2 months to get unemployment. Fight it, you deserve it.

Never use a company computer for personal reasons. They don't need to know your personal business. Good luck with your new job.
