    Default Re: Quit or Fired?

    Sounds to me like you were fired for walking off the job, which they have every right to do. You can try to appeal on that basis (though I'm not sure it'll work - walking off the job is also most often a disqualifier.

    But a case could be made for your quitting, too. It's a matter of perspective (not of law).

    There's no guaranteed way to find out what they might tell prospective employers. BTW, if it is their honest opinion that you were fired for job abandonment, they may legally say so (EVEN IF the unemployment office disagrees). You can ask a trusted friend to call posing as an employer or your can hire a reference checking service. You may not find out.

    I believe you quit the job. Move on.

    Believe me, I want to move on. But in the mean time if there is a way to have a couple of dollars come in while I look for another job....

    I just thought it was pretty brutal not giving an employee who has never missed a day of work a write-up instead of just terminating.

    I have nothing to lose in appealing... but the company is a TERMINATOR and I'm sure they know exactly what to say against an appeal in EVERY situation.


    Thanks for your time in responding.

    If I was your employer, I would take your actions as quitting and walking out. There for no entitlements to unemployment.

    There for just try to make it through until you find a new job.
