Well, we looked it up. He was fired without cause. At least, he was not told anything about it being related to his job performance. Oregon is an at-will employment state so there does not need to be cause in order to be let go from your job, but it DOES affect whether you can apply for unemployment.

I'm new to this unemployment thing so we'll see what they say when he applies. My opinion is that he should call them and run the situation by them first, but considering that their office closes in 20 minutes and he hasn't shown any indication that he's planning to call, I'm guessing that won't happen.

His typical response to pressure and anxiety is to sleep and procrastinate. It drives me insane, because my reaction is the exact opposite.

What should I do?
