对不起，在我提问题以前有很长的一个铺垫，可能是一个特殊的情况。希望大家谅解！
在一家工程咨询公司上班两年多了，还没开始半绿卡（我肯定不在这家公司办绿卡，正
在努力换公司中），H１－B 身份。
工资是按HOURLY WAGE计算的。如果一直有业务，反正也就是４０小时一周干活。如果
业务量减少，公司就可能减少工时（２４小时一周工作）。去年三四月份时候减过一次
，历时１个半月；今年从三月底一直减时工作，中间偶尔全工一两周。这些都是公司老
板在周一例行会议上通报一下就执行的。
最近一直没有新的业务单，老板跟我们说做好长期作战准备。但是可能即使在减少员工
工时节约成本的同时，公司还需要支付跟正常运行一样多的LIABILITIES。公司想再减
少这部分开支，公司就申请了一个州SHARED WORK PROGRAM。同时呢，这个PROGRAM的好
处是不用直接LAYOFF员工，要不然等有业务的时候又得重新招人，对公司来讲就太麻烦
了。当然如果长期没有业务，当然不太合适，因为公司至少要求员工每周的工时是２０
小时。
前面说过，公司现在要求大家（所有人）每周3天工作制（24小时）。在申请SHARED

On the November 8th issue of New Yorker, Jianying Zha wrote this article
titled "Servant of the State" talking about Meng Wang and Xiaobo Liu. It is
a heavy, multiple page essay. Although there are more and more articles on
China, I have not seen anything like this before in New Yorker.
I have admired Liu's spirit for a while, and disliked Meng Wang lining up
with the current government. This article definitely informed more insights
about the history of Wang and made me understand better about his
perspective, why he is doing what he is doing. It is hard to say to the end
who is doing more for a better China. Maybe both types of strategy are
important in reality.
This is a wonderful article. It is not only about each individual of them,
but also the bitter relationship between them. The attack Wang launched at
Liu when the latter was still in prison is shocking and indeed unforgivable.
However, Liu's arrogance over Wang's situation when Wang needs help and
support was similarly unpleasant. Perhaps Liu himself also falls as a
typical Chinese intellectual in "looking down on other scholars (wen ren
xiang qing)".
The story of Wang's personal path was sad and touching. There is too little
information about Liu, probably due to Liu's absence from the public life in
China for so long, or that Ms. Zha does not know Liu in person very well as
she does with Wang.
I strongly recommend the original article to Chinese overseas who care about
China's future.
Ms. Jianying Zha also authored the books "China Pop" and "The 1980s".

难道你工作２4小时还能拿到UI？那你的工资该多低呀？不大可能. 你有没有算对你每个月能拿多少UI假定你完全不工作？

这个很tricky. UI through Shared Work Program is calculated differently.
Typically, the highest benefit you can claim is limited by the Weekly
Benefit Amount (WBA). For regular unemployment benefit payment, the actual
amount you can get is calculated by WBA minus an earning deduction which is
computed from the gross earnings that week. Yes, it is true that my earning
deduction is way higher than the WBA and nothing I could claim through
regular UI.
However, the Shared Work payments are calculated ba
