- wincy 2y agoUnemployment phone number I had to call was like this. If you missed it no money that week.
- afarah1 2y agoSome Brazil government websites/apps have a "virtual queue" system. During traffic surges, such as when government allows people to withdraw part of their unemployment fund for one reason or another, the site/app loads normally but display a page placing you in a queue with a dynamically updated ETA, usually several minutes or hours. Example (news article in Portuguese): https://epocanegocios.globo.com/economia/noticia/2023/07/distribuicao-dos-lucros-do-fgts-usuarios-enfrentam-filas-virtuais-para-acessar-aplicativo.ghtml https://epocanegocios.globo.com/economia/noticia/2023/07/dis... A weird way to rate limit... I guess it perfectly emulates the real life experience of waiting in line for hours in government branches.
