    Default Re: Terminated For Having Another Job?

    cafeworker;191815] the job offer was only temporary and that I was taking it purely for experience and not for a higher salary as well as having full intention to return after it was done.
    don't you think that would be up to your employer?

    Then after I explained this I was then told that I was being fired due to failure to contact a manager regarding my absence...to which i explained that i was unable to call due to the store being closed.
    No, it is because you were asleep when you should have been to work, or at least calling them.


    I had never missed a day of work without a doctors note,
    a doctors note carries no weight. It is merely to prove you were sick. It helps the employer know you weren't just playing hookey.


    I have yet to know whether or not I will be working at the new job...I will not find out until next week and there was still the question of benefits so I had not accepted, but i was just informing my department manager of the possibility.
    You might want to consider taking it now regardless of the benefits.


    Was I wrongfully terminated?
    No.

    I cant afford not to work, I live pay check to pay check and after meeting with a credit counselor a few weeks ago I am already constantly $500 short each month of what i need to make to pay my bills...I was going to file for bankruptcy.
    makes getting a new job pretty urgent then.



    Do I have a chance of getting unemployment insurance?
    possibly but nothing for sure. It is up to the state and how they view the situation.

    Maryland is an at-will employment state and you can be terminated at any time for any reason that is not protected by law (ie age, race, religion) or unless you had an employment contract or CBA to the contrary. It's just like you could have quit your job at any time for any reason w/o a contract to the contrary.

    File for UI - it will be up to the state whether you receive it or not.
