I'm hemorrhaging money but refuse to accept anything other than a layoff or finding a new job. It's complete and utter bullshit.

Edit: I attempted to file for underemployment and they denied the claim, stating that the hours were available if my equipment worked, but not disclosing that my equipment was proved by the company itself.
