[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 523714, member: 84"] I knew someone who worked for a retail store for several years. She quit once she finished school to be a vet tech.........only to find out that a vet tech wasn't paid as much as she was for working the retail store (due to her having been there a few years) and she couldn't make her bills.....and that she was having issues finding full time as a vet tech. She didn't think she qualified for unemployment.....turned out she did qualify under some such thing (sorry I don't remember what it was) and it shocked her, although she was thrilled as it would prevent her from being evicted.....as in she could pay her rent. I dunno. I'd do the hearing anyway or appeal or whatever it's called. Goodwill is betting you won't......(most people wouldn't bother to do anything but throw a tantrum) which is why they're trying to say you quit instead of were fired. No, you're not going to get witnesses maybe (although I'd try those higher ups you dealt with, not the lowly employees who's jobs can be threatened more easily for witnesses).........and just go in there and tell the truth. Your story is so unbelievable, it would be too hard to make it up. I'm going to guess unemployment folks who deal with this sort of thing will have experience enough to know that. It's not like you're asking for a fortune, so it's certainly NOT greed motivating you. Know what I mean?? They are supposed to pay the insurance anyway.......so it's not like you're "getting back at them". So what other motivation would you have other than fair play? None really. If you can wait.........I'd wait on the lawyer referral and see what he/she says. They might have a tidbit of advice to give you and edge. But I'd go for it 1. because you need the money and 2. because this is dirty pool and they know it. They not only trumped you out of a job, now they're trying to cheat you out of your unemployment. And since it is Goodwill pulling this stunt?? I'd call me a local columnist or reporter and see how interested they'd be that a very popular charity organization is trying to cheat an ex employee out of her benefits. They might find it interesting indeed, as well as the public at large. hmmm? (((hugs))) You certainly don't need this nonsense. Being out of a job is hard enough without jerks making it harder than it has to be. [/QUOTE]
