Being laid off is much less severe than fired.
It basically means, through no fault of your own, the company can no longer employ you for whatever reason.
In the corporate world being laid off is often accompanied by severance (a big "sorry we let you go" check) and even assistance finding new work.
and yes, being laid off means you can collect unemployment right away...and congress in their infinite wisdom has increased that garbage to 99 weeks.
Because nothing says "go find work" more than a bi monthly check in the mail.
Hey...sometimes that check pays more than "work" you can find. I saw signs for McDonalds hiring, but my unemployment check paid more. McD's was gonna give me $7.50/hr....my unemployment was around 15. Simple math told me to just keep putting resumes out.
Eventually, I gave up on finding work in the town (and even the state) I was living in; searched out of the area, and in a week, was HIRED.
