Fighting for Unemployment..constructive termination?
What is the name of your state? Michigan
I quit my job at the end of August due to my store manager harassing me and a hostile work environment. I was swore at...written up for "showing no respect" and given unfair treatment and schedules to mention a few. I believe she was trying to get me to quit so she could hire her friend's boyfriend...constructive termination. I was not allowed to finish my time out. I put in my notice on a Sunday. I came in on Monday was told by the store manager I was not needed anymore and my store keys were taken and I was sent home. My letter said Friday would be my last day of work.
I filed for unemployment. They denied it saying it was not their fault I had quit. The second determination stated I was denied for not following proper channels or filing a complaint. I did talk to the store manager about her treatment. Nothing was resolved so I then went to my District Manager and told her even used the word Harassment to her. I was told to send her an email documentating the problems and etc. She never did anything to resolve the problems. She apparently told the store manager about something because the treatment and conditions got worse and she was going around prepping the associates in case the DM came in and questioned them about if she was fair or not and how she treated others.
Anyways I am going to appeal this redetermination. I think I could use that I was technically fired. I was not allowed to work the rest of the week and was told I was not needed by the store manager. Her friend's boyfriend started that day. I need some advice on winning this and any info you could help me with writing my appeal would be much appreciated.
