    Should the "insubordination" issue be alleged, I think the approach to take with UI is to leave the disagreements about quality out of it and to explain, "I was doing the work as assigned, and it took me (X) minutes to properly complete the job. My boss thought it should take (Y) minutes. Although I was able to complete the work in a professional manner, despite my best effort I was not able to complete the job within (Y) minutes."

    Very good. Your husband should stay away from the whole Insubordination thing, should say he was terminated exactly for what he was being told by the employer at the time of the termination was the reason. Incidentally, he really went up and beyond his job requirements, and he should stay away from mentioning this, since it wasn't his company. But he should keep it simple in that he tried to do the job to the best of his abilities, and the employer thought he was taking too much time. He won't get any more credit for explaining how he was fired for trying to good job, how he was trying to change or turn around or "save' the other guy's company. Maybe he should go into business for himself. But in any case, he just needs to keep this simple and he has a pretty good chance of being approved to draw benefits. They'll be based on work he has done during the whole last two years or so, not just for this particular company. But there's never a downside to filing the claim and letting the agency make the call.
