What is the name of your state? Massachusetts...I was discharged on november 19th from a large brokerage firm that I have been with for almost 9 years. To make a long story short, I was promoted, yet again, to a position in this office. The Branch Manager and I did not really see eye to eye, he needed to find a reason to fire me so he came up with a story about me approving items for my own account, which is so untrue. I have applied for UI benefits and should hear something very soon. I was simply called in to his office and told because I was approving items for my own account without manager approval that I was fired. I have only worked in this office for 3 months...I actually called my previous manager at the office I worked at just prior to transferring here...he was to say the least shocked. I have an impeccable employment record, rave reviews every year that are in my personnel file and I have been promoted 3 times in the last 8 1/2 years. I have never had a warning about anything during my career and just want to know what my chances are of getting UI benefits solely on this managers dislike for me. Thanks for any input.
