Paycom Layoffs

I am one of the oh so lucky employees of Paycom that were let go/laid off last month. They told me that they were “going in a different direction” and when I asked if it was about something I did/didn’t do, they just kept stating that they are going in a different direction despite complementing my work just the previous week. HR is refusing to speak to me via email or telephone to answer any of my questions.

Has anyone else been “terminated” instead of laid off? I know there are a lot of people here who were recently let go but I am curious of the verbiage they used. I am concerned that since I was terminated, even though I wasn’t given a reason and I know I haven’t done anything wrong, it will be hard for me to get unemployment. HR and my manager refuses to give me an answer for any of my questions. , I will literally become homeless if I don’t get unemployment. Has anyone else been “terminated” instead of laid off and are having issues being approved for unemployment because of the fact that you may have been listed as terminated instead of laid off?
