I'm in California. I've been at my job on training for 7 months and am on a 1 year probation period. They're in the process of getting rid of me ("Rejection during Probationary Period" is what they're calling it). They're firing me because I wasn't able to successfully pass the training, not because I've not followed their policies or misconduct or anything like that, just simply because I can't do the job. I'm not quitting, and they're not technically "firing" me, they're just dismissing me during my probationary period.
They said I can take resign, ride out the "rejection during probationary period" (which would last 2 weeks-2 months), or take voluntary demotion for any other open position in the company. The voluntary demotion consists of me finding another job in the company (which is a totally different type of job.. instead of working behind a desk I'm in the field working on vehicles), relocating, and taking a pay cut (which I can't do. I'm barley surviving with what they're paying me now.. I can't afford to take any less).
Will I be eligible for Unemployment if I go through the "rejection during probationary period" until I'm able to find another job?
