What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Minnesota
Hello,
My wife is in a situation right now where she would like to quit but would likely be fired. The background of the story is that, she was hired as a bank manager, but what drew her to the position was the idea that she was going to mostly be charged with growing her branch, drumming up business/customers, activities in the community..etc (things she enjoyed). Her assistant manager would be in charge of the operations aspect. For about a year, everything was great. She loved her job, was enthusiastic, and got nothing but praise from upper management.
Then the economy took a downturn. They got rid of the assistant manager position, stopped all her marketing/community involvement activities, and changed her job to 100% operations and working 10-12 hour days (yes, I know it's in the company's right). She tried to adjust, and brought forth her ideas but all would be shot down. Gradually, she no longer enjoyed her work since she could no longer do the things she loved and it prompted her boss to ask her to figure out whether or not the job is the right fit for her on two occassions.
She just met with her boss and HR and was given a 3-day ultimatum to change. (start loving your job in 3 days?) Anyway, she has started to look for a new job but who knows how long that will take.
My question is, is there any way, given that the new position is no longer the right fit, for her to be able to end the employment amicably and thus be able to receive unemployment? if not, if she were to be fired, it would be because the job changed, and she's no longer the right fit (there's no gross misconduct on her record). Under these circumstances, would she be eligible?
Thanks much!
