Not in the strickest sense, but I lived that nightmare of thinking I quit, when in the UI world it was a firing and a refusal of work. Let the employer protest on that basis, but if I had to do it over again, I wouldn't have written a letter of resignation, I would have just said, "I'm refusing your offer of continued employment in the poor substitute of a job you're offering." I would have submitted my UI paperwork as a discharge and a refusal of work, and had I done that, it might have spared me waiting 363 days to get my first UI check.
